Posi tone, 2023. New Copy ... $11.99 15.99
Pianist David Ake works here at a level that maybe lives up to the slightly rural image on the cover – still jazz, but with a quality that's almost pastoral at times – as he allows the tunes to open up and build slowly, almost as sonic landscapes – but with a sense of warmth and ... read more CD
Verve/Universal (Japan), 1957. New Copy ... $14.99 19.99
Don't let the title fool you, because although the cover of the record says "Many Sides Of Toshiko", the album only features one – her great approach to bop-inflected trio material – recorded here in a classic Verve session with a distinct Bud Powell influence! Not that we're ... read more CD
Candid, 1960. New Copy ... $14.99 15.99
One of the few recorded meetings of alto saxophonist Charlie Mariano and pianist Toshiko Akioshi in the studio – quite strange given that they were a couple at the time! The session's easily one of the last great American sessions by either player – a work that shows Mariano's alto ... read more CD
Atlantic, 1978. Near Mint- ... $6.99
A late 70s live set from space jazz/jazz rock guitar guru Jan Akkerman – rolling from spacious, sparely haunting atmospherics to tighter, sax and keys punctuated fusion jams! This live set was his Atlantic followed up his self titled album, and it grooves in similar territory – not as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(US pressing. Cover has a cutout notch, some edge wear, and a filled in peeled spot from sticker removal at the top right corner.)
Solid State, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $7.99
A wonderful little session from Manny Albam – one that continues the strong tradition of larger group jazz arranging he began in the 60s, but which takes it to an even deeper level! Manny composed the entire set as kind of a "city suite" in jazz – one that paints the picture ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a half inch of light staining along the bottom, with some wear and light aging.)
Elektra, 1982. Sealed ... $9.99
A great portrait of an under-recorded artist – Joe Albany's last album ever, recorded for Elektra records during their early 80s run of straight jazz sides! The record's got a spare, personal quality that's similar to Albany's other late work – but it's a bit more professionally put ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a small cutout.)
Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... $6.99
A teaming of two modern jazz talents from differing generations – one, pianist Joe Albany, rediscovered and re-recorded here after a number of years of obscurity during the 50s – the other, Warne Marsh, an emerging genius with one of the best tenor tones of his generation. The pair ... read more CD
(Artwork has some light age spots.)
Vampi Soul (Spain), 1972/1974. New Copy ... $5.99 16.99
A cool collection of very unusual grooves from Argentine composer/guitarist Rodolfo Alchourron – part of a generation of groundbreaking musicians in his homeland that also included Lalo Schifrin and Gato Barbieri – yet unlike those artists, a talent that never achieved greater global ... read more CD
Atco/Castle (UK), 1962. Used ... $9.99
An amazing lost bossa jazz session – recorded in Brazil, issued in the US by Atlantic in 1962, and finally out on CD! Paulo Alencar's group is supposedly filled with "all stars", but the label fails to mention who they are. Whatever the case, though, the record's a strong one ... (Brazil, Jazz) read more CD

High Note, 2000. Used ... $6.99
One of Eric's stone cookers with Charles Earland on Hammond! CD

Live At The Keynote ... CD Video Arts (Japan), 2006. Used ... Just Sold Out!
A bare-bones, no holds barred live set from modern tenor giant Eric Alexander – and one of his strongest records in years! The album was recorded live in Tokyo at the end of the 90s – at a point when Alexander was really hitting his prime, but still had a real freshness in his tone too ... read more CD

Also available Man With A Horn ... CD 14.99(2003 Japanese pressing, still sealed with obi.)
High Note, 2023. New Copy ... $14.99 16.98
A definite new beginning for reedman Eric Alexander – a set that has him turning to alto sax, instead of his very familiar tenor – and also working with some larger string backings on most of the set – something we're not sure Alexander has ever done before! The vibe is great, ... read more CD
Telarc, 2001. Used ... $1.99

Pleasure Bent ... LP New Jazz/Prestige, 1961. Near Mint- ... $39.99
One of the few albums ever cut by this incredible tenor sax player – a wonderful talent that we only know from a handful of records – all of which we love! This date's got a bold sound that very much lives up to its cover, and Alexander's placement on Prestige's New Jazz label – ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Japanese-only reissue pressing!)
King, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $43.99 59.99
Early greatness from Lorez Alexandria – and proof that she was a singer who could handle a tune like nobody else! At one level, the set appears to be a simple batch of standards, given a slight jazz twist – but as usual for the great one, Lorez manages to inflect each and every note ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original black label King pressing, with deep groove – nice and clean! Cover has light wear, masking tape on the top and bottom seams, and a light scratch on one side – but overall, this is a great original copy.)

For Swingers Only ... CD Argo/Dusty Groove, 1963. Used ... $11.99
One of the greatest albums ever from Lorez Alexandria – an ultra-hip singer who recorded for Impulse and King, but who sounds especially wonderful on this rare date for Chess Records! The album's got a groove that definitely lives up to its title – a jazzy, bouncy sort of rhythm that's ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more CD
(Out of print and sealed with a punch through the barcode.)
Impulse, 1964. Very Good Gatefold ... $14.99 19.99
A beautiful album by one of our favorite jazz singers! Lorez Alexandria is in a perfect setting here – singing with subtly sophisticated backings that really let her take charge, and direct the songs tightly with her incredibly soulful vocals! Instrumentation is mostly in a small combo ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Orange and black label stereo pressing, with Van Gelder stamp. Vinyl has a mark that clicks through one song, and part of another, but is clean overall.)
Survival, Early 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $39.99 46.99
A great one from drummer Rashied Ali – issued here on his own Survival label! Ali's perhaps best remembered for his spare backing behind Coltrane's solo sax on the record Interstellar Space – and we're tempted to say that there's a similar vibe going on here – as the record just ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
