Olufsen/Acid Jazz (UK), 1988. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 29.99
A sublime criss-crossing of jazz modes and percussion – served up here by Emmanuel Abdul-Rahim, an artist who doesn't always record much as a leader, but always gives us something fantastic when he does! The album's from the late 80s, but has a sense of spiritual exploration that's more 70s ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
ECM (Germany), 1975. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $35.99 39.99
A whole new kind of trio session for the 70s – one that has the airy, open lines of guitarist John Abercrombie stretching out nicely in the company of drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Dave Holland! The music is archetypal ECM work of the time – a complete contrast to a guitar trio ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Rogue Art (France), 2020. New Copy Gatefold ... $19.99 21.99
Tremendous work from Joshua Abrams – a set that's very different than some of his other work in recent years, but every bit as great!

A fantastic record – and one of the warmest, most soulful sets we've ever heard from Muhal Richard Abrams!

FPE, 2024. New Copy ... $21.99 24.99
A very cool set, and one that really defies any expectations you might have! Sure, the group's from Accra, and the music was recorded there – but in a mode that's very different than conventional sounds from Ghana – and instead with this criss-crossing of styles and explosion of new ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Strut (UK), 2018. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $26.99 28.99
Saxophonist Idris Ackamoor is a living jazz legend – but not the kind that's stale and stuffy, and instead a continuously vibrant player who's given us mindblowing music since his initial recordings with his Pyramids group in the 70s!

Timeless/Music On Vinyl (Netherlands), 1978. New Copy (reissue)... $29.99 32.99
A tremendous moment for the great George Adams as a leader – a record that won the reedman widespread attention after some key work in the bigger groups of Gil Evans and Charles Mingus! Adams is a searing, soulful player right from the start – stepping out strongly on tenor at the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Julian ... LP Enja/Inner City, 1975. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Genius work from Pepper Adams – one of those players we sometimes forget about, then drop the needle on a record like this and fall in love with his music all over again!

Corbett vs. Dempsey, 2023. New Copy Gatefold ... $20.99 25.99
Beautiful music from Chicago, set to another Chicago-themed project – a film based around the Roy stories of writer Barry Gifford!

Milestone two-fer from the 70s that compiles two hard to find early Cannonball albums for Riverside – Portrait Of Cannonball and Things Are Getting Better.

Capitol, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... $8.99
A great lost chapter in the Cannonball/David Axelrod story! The record features Cannon's classic quintet performing some longer, more serious works with orchestral backing – and the sound is vaguely similar to some of Axelrod's "high concept" work for Capitol. The record features ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Green label pressing. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Liberation Hall, 1975. New Copy ... $23.99 26.99
Cannonball Adderley left the planet all too soon during the year of 1975 – but he's still going fantastically strong in this live date from the same year – a set that maybe shows us what sort of directions that Cannon might have taken had he stuck around for another decade or two! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury/Verve, 1959. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $36.99 38.99
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles! The set was recorded in Chicago when both were stopping through the city ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Cannonball Adderley's Fiddler On The Roof ... LP Capitol, 1964. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Once again, Cannonball Adderley proves the old jazz adage – it's not the song, but the singer – as he breathes fantastic new life here into a set of tunes from the musical Fiddler on the Roof! Yet in thinking of the music, there's also a special sort of genius – as there's some ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mercury, 1958. Very Good ... $13.99
A set that's right on target, right from the start – and one that has the young Cannonball Adderley really coming into his groove!

Capitol, 1965. Very Good+ ... $9.99

Cannonball Adderley —
In The Land Of Hi Fi With Julian Cannonball Adderley (Trip pressing) ... LP EmArcy, 1956. Near Mint- ... $7.99
The title's a bit of a mouthful, but a good description of the way Cannonball was presented in the years before his soul jazz groove firmly kicked in! The "hi fi" is a bit overstated – as the album's pretty much of a straight jazz record, featuring Cannon blowing lead solos in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(70s Trip pressing. Cover has light wear and a small trace of a price sticker.)
Riverside/Craft, 1961. New Copy ... $26.99 38.99
Beautiful early work from Cannonball Adderley – and a record that's quite different than most of his better known sets from the time!

Cannonball Adderley —
Lovers ... LP Fantasy, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!
One of the last albums ever recorded by Cannonball Adderley – and a sweet set of spacey numbers that changes the groove slightly from his work with David Axelrod! George Duke handles electric piano and a bit of electronics – and Cannon blows both soprano and alto, alongside Nat ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Presenting Cannonball ... LP Savoy, 1955. Very Good+ ... $149.99
One of Cannonball Adderley's first albums – recorded for Savoy way back in 1955, and done with a free and open style that's a nice contrast to his tighter sides for Mercury! The album's very relaxed – that hardbop blowing session mode that Savoy virtually pioneered – letting the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Note, 1958. New Copy ... Just Sold Out!
A landmark album – even if it was the only session that Cannonball Adderley ever cut for Blue Note!

The second pressing of Walk Tall/74 Miles Away – a classic album recorded during the time when Capitol was making a mint off of Cannonball's funky soul jazz riffing – and one of the early efforts he did with David Axelrod at the helm!

Atlantic, 1967. Very Good Gatefold ... $13.99 16.99
Nice hard swingin' quintet session, with a good late 60's groove. Nat Adderley borrows brother Cannonball's pianist Joe Zawinul, and Joe Henderson sits in on tenor.

Prestige, 1965. Very Good ... $6.99 9.99
A striking title – and a strong set of grooves, even if the tracks were pulled from a variety of different sessions, and not recorded as a unified album.
