Benny, Ben, & Barney ... LP 
Swingville, 1962. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great example of why the Swingville label was such a great idea – a perfect setting for older players to have a chance to relax in the studio and really do their thing – hitting the sort of notes they might reach in a late-nite set at a club, without all the pressures to try for a ...

Swingville/OJC, 1960. Used ... $2.99
Beautiful blowing from Buck Clayton and Buddy Tate – captured here in the relaxed, easy-going setting of the Swingville label!

Buck & Buddy Blow The Blues ... CD Prestige/Swingville/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock

Beautiful late work from Coleman Hawkins – mellow genius that wins us over time and time again over the years!
