Da Mon/P-Vine (Japan), 1981. New Copy ... $26.99
One of the best records ever recorded by the Ambiance II Fusion Ensemble – a group led by sax player Daoud Abubakar Balewa – and grooving here in a mix of soul jazz and electric fusion that sounds pretty darn sweet overall! Daoud's got a pinched style to his reed work, creating a tone ... read more CD

Bad Bossa Nova (aka Jungle Soul) ... LP Prestige, 1964. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Bad Bossa Nova is right – as Gene Ammons really hits a great groove here – one that's not exactly bossa, but which has lots of Latin and tropical touches! The session makes great use of 2 guitars at the same time – using that of Kenny Burrell for soulful rhythm, but also adding ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono yellow & black label NJ pressing with Van Gelder stamp. Record and cover are nice!)

Big Sound ... CD Prestige, Mid 50s. Used ... $9.99
Classic Jug, playing in a laidback open-ended blowing session, with other strong Prestige players – like Coltrane, Jerome Richardson, Paul Quinichette, Art Taylor, and Mal Waldron, who always seems to be the driving force between most Prestige sides like this. The album has only 4 tracks, ... read more CD

Prestige, 1955. Very Good- ... $2.99
Prestige, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $11.99
A classic album from Gene Ammons – one that features the tenor legend at his prime, working in two different settings! The first batch has Ammons "battling" Sonny Stitt in a set of stuff that features hard twin tenors in the frontline, with the kind of cutting contests the two of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(OJC pressing. Cover has a lightly stained and wavy corner.)
Prestige/OJC, 1964. Used ... $9.99
Very nice album by Jug that often gets overlooked because it's comprised of 2 different sessions, and can't get the "historical" writeup of being a single significant moment in the studio. Some tracks – including "Lascivious" and "Soft Winds" – are with a ... read more CD
(Out of print. Booklet and tray card have light stains.)

Red Top (aka Golden Saxophone Of Gene Ammons) ... LP Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A nice collection of Gene Ammons' work that doesn't always get as well remembered as his sides for Prestige or Chess – a 1947 bop session for Savoy with Howard McGhee on trumpet, Leo Parker on baritone, Junior Mance on piano, Gene Wright on bass, and Chuck Williams on drums; and early 50s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mid 70s issue. Cover has minimal wear and lightly bumped corners.)
Moodsville, Early 60s. Good+ ... $7.99
Beautiful beautiful work from tenorist Gene Ammons – and an album that really demonstrates that during the 60s, one of Ammons' strongest suits was his work with a mellow tune or ballad! The tracks here are wonderfully laidback, but never sleepy – very soulful, and solidly put together ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label stereo Moodsville pressing. Vinyl has some oxidation and plays with surface noise. Cover has wear and aging, split top seam and half split spine, a light stain along the bottom, and some pen and marker on back.)
Prestige, 1962/Early 70s. Used ... $14.99
The first-ever issue of material recorded in Chicago in 1962 – a rare session by pianist Dodo Marmarosa, one that was to be his last on earth! Dodo's working with a trio that includes Sam Jones on bass and Marshall Thompson on drums – in a sad, almost bluesy style that's a wonderful ... read more CD

Pacific Jazz, 1960. Very Good ... $24.99
Great LA soul jazz session featuring the deep Texas tenor of Curtis Amy and the funky organ of Paul Bryant! Also present is Roy Brewster, the great, under-recorded LA valve trombonist, whose playing here gives the session a nice round bottom. 5 long cuts, with earthy, bluesy solos, and a very ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Mono black & silver label pressing with deep groove. Cover has some wear and aging, clear tape holding the bottom seam, with a small name written in pen on front and in marker on back.)

Ropeadope, 2020. New Copy ... $9.99 15.99
Trombonist Clifton Anderson always makes us wait way too long between his albums as a leader – but each of his sets is definitely worth the anticipation, and seems to push Clifton's music forward a fair bit more than before! This album's a gem through and through – all original music, ... read more CD
Mercury, 1956. Very Good+ ... $16.99
A great early set from singer Ernestine Anderson – material recorded in Sweden with a sound that's even more sweetly swinging than some of her American albums of the time! The backings on most tracks are by Harry Arnold – one of the hippest Swedish leaders of the time, and an arranger ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
