Riverside, 1957. Near Mint- ... $29.99
An unlikely pair, but a great one here – and the record's one of those few magical moments where bringing together unusual partners actually works! Mulligan's cool hardly seems a match for Monk's angular modernism, but together the players seem to strike a middle ground that resonates with ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(OJC pressing. Cover has minimal wear and a small drip stain on the back, but looks great overall.)
Wes Montgomery —
Best Of Wes Montgomery (Riverside) ... LP Riverside, Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A collection of sides cut in the early 60s by Wes for Riverside, collected later when the label was owned by ABC. There's a couple of cuts in a nice organ trio feature the great Mel Rhyne "Round Midnight" and "Yesterdays", plus several that feature his brothers Buddy and Monk ...

Riverside, 1963. Very Good- ... $43.99 48.99
Early greatness from Wes Montgomery – and a session that's got a gritty edge that takes Wes back to his Indianapolis roots! The album's one of the few of the time to feature the unsung Hammond hero Mel Rhyne – a player who worked with Wes at his start, but has only gotten stronger ...

(Very nice stereo pressing – black label, silver text, microphone logo, and deep groove – nice and clean! Cover has light wear, a small corner bump, and a bit of light aging on back near the bottom.)
Wes Montgomery —
Full House ... LP Riverside, 1962. Near Mint- ... $34.99
With grooves this great, the house must have been full – and the album's a gem of an early live date by Wes Montgomery, recorded in Berkeley with a quartet that includes Johnny Griffin on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Jimmy Cobb on drums! The tunes have a nicely ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wes Montgomery —
Fusion ... LP Riverside, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A pretty darn important album for Wes – as it was his first session with the sort of larger arrangements that would later make him huge! Although Montgomery was mostly recording for Riverside in small combos, this session has him playing in front of larger backings by Jimmy Jones – not ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Wes Montgomery —
Guitar On The Go ... LP Riverside, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Nothing fancy, but a wonderfully stripped-down session that has an early Wes working with his original group that included Mel Rhyne on organ. The album's one of the few from the time that allow you to hear Rhyne grooving away in a down-home Indiana style – and the set list is made up of ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Riverside, 1960. Good ... $34.99
They're not kidding with the title of this one – because although the record was only Wes Montgomery's second album as a leader, he was already making plenty of waves with the sound of his guitar! The session lines Wes up with the very tight rhythm team of Tommy Flanagan on piano, Percy ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Panorama ... LP Riverside, 1960s. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A compilation of Wes' sides for the Riverside label, pulled together when the imprint was briefly owned by ABC at the end of the 60s. The set is a hodge podge of cuts from quite a few previous albums, and includes live material, sessions where Montgomery was a sideman, orchestral backings, a ...

A double-header of sweet-styled early work from Wes Montgomery!

Wes Montgomery —
So Much Guitar! ... LP Riverside, 1961. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
So much guitar – but never too much, given that Wes was the real master of sound and space, even at this early point in his career! The album's one that tries to break Montgomery from some of his smaller combo albums for Riverside, and pair him with a few bigger names – Hank Jones on ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wes Montgomery – March 6, 1925 to June 15, 1968 ... LP Riverside, Late 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $11.99
A collection of work from Wes' earlier years on Riverside – pulled together into a memorial package in the late 60s, after his untimely early death.

One of Noro Morales' hippest albums of the time – a tight set done for Riverside Records, with a jazzier edge than some of his other records! (Latin) LP, Vinyl record album
Riverside, 1962. Very Good+ ... $11.99 14.99
Given what a freewheeling, open-minded, and lyrical jazz singer Mark Murphy is, it's hard to imagine him really loving "the blues" – and fortunately, most of that love is extended in the title, because the album itself is less of the blues effort that you might think. True, the ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Pace with Chet Baker —
Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace ... LP Riverside, 1958. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Given that Chet Baker's a singer himself, it's a bit surprising that he's working here with another vocalist – but that oddity aside, the album's a great little session that's got an intimate feel that's a bit different than Baker's own vocal work! Pace's voice is much fuller and richer than ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Riverside, 1956. Very Good- ... $1.99

Bill Perkins —
Quietly There ... LP Riverside/ABC, 1966/1970. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Amazing work from west coast saxophonist Bill Perkins – playing here in a mode that's quite different than his more famous 50s recordings! The style here is almost one you'd hear on late 60s A&M Records – definitely "quietly there", with a blend of Perkins' reeds and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dave Pike —
It's Time For Dave Pike ... LP Riverside, 1961. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Early work by Dave Pike – one of his first albums ever, recorded with an all-star lineup that includes Barry Harris on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Pike's got less of the groovy and fuzzed-out sound of his later work – but even at this young age, he's a ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Julian Priester —
Keep Swingin' ... LP Riverside, 1960. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Fantastic early work as a leader from trombonist Julian Priester – a musician who'd later be known for his performances with Sun Ra, and his fusion material in the 70s – but who here works at the head of a tight hardbop combo in the best Riverside mode! The album's got Julian in both a ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Freddy Redd —
San Francisco Suite ... LP Riverside, 1957. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Very different work than Freddie Redd's firey albums for Blue Note – a set of trio tunes that are distinctly modern, but done with a much more laidback approach. Freddie's style here has a bit of the late nite barroom feel – with some great blue notes and sadness stepping out from the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Riverside/OJC, 1958. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 25.99
A seminal set from Max Roach – the start of his more righteous stretch in jazz, as you might guess from the title of the album! At some level, the record's got a bit of the feel of the post-Clifford Brown Mercury years from Roach – but at another, it's stretching out towards the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sonny Rollins —
Freedom Suite ... LP Riverside, 1958. Near Mint- ... $34.99
A crucially important record in Sonny Rollins' career – one that had him breaking out of the straight bop sound, and emerging as a major power on the tenor sax – one with limitless creative power!

A raw early cooker from Mongo Santamaria – a real standout album from the Riverside years, thanks to a live performance that goes far beyond his studio work of the time!

A record that definitely lives up to its title – reminding us not only that Johnny Hammond Smith is one hell of an organist, but also a great leader with a really unique feel for a groove! The set's noteworthy not just for Johnny's own work on Hammond, but also for the presence of a young ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Riverside, 1960. Very Good ... $14.99 19.99
A pretty great trio date from Billy Taylor – and somewhat overlooked, too!

A surprisingly nice set that brings together Clark Terry and Thelonious Monk!

One of the best albums from singer Teri Thornton – a jazz vocalist who was really starting to come into her own at the beginning of the 60s, and shines here in a way that's different from some of her bigger label sets!
