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)... Just Sold Out!
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! The set's got a lean group – Abrams on bass, Jeff Parker on guitar, Gerald Cleaver on drums, and the great Ari Brown on tenor – of Awakening fame ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Black Saint, 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $11.99
A fantastic record – and one of the warmest, most soulful sets we've ever heard from Muhal Richard Abrams! The album features Muhal's piano alongside the bass of Malachi Favors – a really unique duo outing that unlocks a whole new side of both players, especially Favors, who really ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
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! This version of the Pyramids is different than that one, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Also available Angel Fell ... CD 11.99
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
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! Yet that literary reference aside, the music here has fantastic merits of its own, even if you've never read Gifford at all – a very different, more ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Limited to 500 copies – beautiful pressing from Smashed Plastic!)
Capitol, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
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
Also available Cannonball Adderley Quintet – Live In Montreal May 1975 ... CD 14.99
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
(Part of the excellent Verve Acoustic Sounds series – heavy vinyl and cover!)
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
(Rainbow label stereo pressing. Cover has light wear and aging, tiny peeled spot at the top right, smal streak of pen, and some discoloration in front.)
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! The set's a lot more soul jazz-oriented than some of Cannon's records from a few years before – played by a rock-solid group that includes brother Nat ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo blue label pressing with deep groove. Cover has light gloss separation on spine, light wear.)
Capitol, 1965. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A key meeting of Cannonball Adderley and David Axelrod – and one of the pair's first larger collaborations together!

Cannonball Adderley —
In The Land Of Hi Fi With Julian Cannonball Adderley (Trip pressing) ... LP EmArcy, 1956. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
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! The album's more spare and stripped-down than usual – with Cannon's alto in a quartet alongside Bill Evans on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Connie Kay ... 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
(Heavy red label pressing, with deep groove and RVG etch! Back cover and label have some promo stamps. Front has some very light laminate peeling – but cover is very nice, as is vinyl!)

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. The set was recorded live, with the same sort of relaxed funky groove as the Cannonball live sets from the time. Cuts include " ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Ropeadope, 2023. New Copy 2LP Gatefold ... $34.99 38.99
With a record like this, it's hard to believe that Christian Scott started out in more standard jazz – as Chief Xian Atunde Adjuah is a very different artist altogether, one who wraps together worlds and eras of musical heritage – working here in a set that's very heavy on percussion, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Viralata ... LP Artezanal/Far Out (UK), 1979. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 32.99
Fantastic stuff – and one of the greatest records ever by Brazilian keyboardist Antonio Adolfo! The album was recorded at the end of the 70s, and has a sound that's a lot like the best fusion work by Azymuth – a great mix of jazz and funk, plus more dynamic Brazilian elements – ...

MGM/Metro, 1958. Very Good ... $19.99
A unique early large group session from pianist Toshiko Akioshi – recorded with a hip group of international players! The record's almost a precursor of some of Akioshi's better-known big band work of later years – but it's got more of a small combo feel overall, thanks to a tight ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Candid, 1960. New Copy (reissue)... $25.99 28.99
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!

Decca, 1958. Near Mint- ... $7.99
One of the many releases in the surprisingly successful semi-genre of "jazz meets West Side Story" albums that came out in the late 50s and early 60s.
