Titles include "I'm Free", "House For Sale", "Bad Risk", "Feel Like Making Love", "Solitary Love Affair", and "Do What Makes The World Go Round". (Soul) LP, Vinyl record album
A beautiful setting for the vibes of Milt Jackson – a record that has his sublime chromatic sound stepping out in front of fuller orchestrations from Quincy Jones – never overdone, but with just the right sort of soulful focus to send Milt over the top! The album's an early example of ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Mono red & purple label pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
The title says it all with this one – as Milt Jackson plays a set of ballads, and a set of blues – but both in ways that really make the best of his warmly chromatic approach to the vibes!

Two great 60s albums from vibist Milt Jackson – both a bit unusual in format!

A slightly different take on the Modern Jazz Quartet sound of the early years – as the album features Milt Jackson's vibes in the company of MJQ bandmates Percy Heath and Connie Kay, but also includes Horace Silver on piano – in the spot normally reserved for John Lewis! The presence ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Wicked early work from Milt Jackson – a record that's got a lot more of an edge than some of his later work with the Modern Jazz Quartet – a near-perfect modernist bop sound that's every bit the best side of Blue Note in the early 50s!

Milt Jackson's third album for CTI – part of a wonderful run that really helped him redefine his sound in the 70s!

An obscure little live set – recorded at the end of the 70s, at a time that makes it some of Sonny Stitt's last work on record!

The first of six "comeback" albums that this great Chicago soul singer cut during his second wave of recording during the late 70s!

Forget the million times you've heard the schmaltzy title tune of this one – and check out Walter's version!

Sweet smooth soul from Walter Jackson – recording here in his later years, with a style that's a lot more modern than his classic 60s recordings for Okeh, but still surprisingly nice, and a great evolution of his "Iceman" soul sound!
