Atlantic/Modern Harmonic, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... $23.99 24.99
Early Atlantic Records work from the great Mose Allison – easily one of the most unique jazz artists of his time! Most started out as a pianist with a nicely bluesy vibe, but soon added in this excellent vocal approach that was maybe part New Orleans, part New York hipster – delivered ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, 1960. Very Good+ ... $1.99
A very unique outing – a set that mixes the sweet harmonies of The Ames Brothers with wild backings from Esquivel! Most of the tracks are in Spanish, and have Esquivel doing a standard Latin sound, but which also approaches his own solo work in some of the more unusual moments! LP, Vinyl record album
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and a split top seam.)
Riverside, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Interesting stuff, if not the kind of record you'd put on every day. The album's an interview with Louis Armstrong's wife Lil, and she talks at length about her famous days in the early years of jazz.

Walt Disney, 1968. New Copy (reissue)... $19.99
A very cool little record – even though it's a bit out of the ordinary for the Louis Armstrong catalog!

Patti Austin —
Havana Candy ... LP CTI, 1977. Very Good- Gatefold ... $2.99
Havana Candy, indeed – as singer Patti Austin's in her sweetest mode of the 70s – stepping off of years of background vocals for others, and really emerging as a great soul star on her own! Patti got the chance to cut some soul singles back in her early days – but work like this ... (Soul, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Telestar (Sweden), 1963. Near Mint- ... $29.99
A beautiful and rare recording – both for singer Alice Babs, and Ellington himself! The session was cut in Paris in 1963 – and it's a moody, intimate album that features Duke backing up Alice with arrangements that are quieter and more subtle than those used with most other Ellington-re ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

A&M, 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $5.99
Insanely wonderful work by Bacharach – in a way that we can hardly begin to describe (but we'll certainly try!)

Novus/Mono Jazz (Italy), 1988. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $32.99

Very groovy work from The Barry Sisters – and quite different than their better-known early work for Roulette Records!

ABC, 1966. Near Mint- ... $6.99
United Artists, 1976. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A serious British session arranged and conducted by Arthur Greenslade – done in a mood that's often mellow, and which has more dark corners than we'd expect from Shirley – a sad-tinged sound that often features a bit of organ brewing down in the low range of the sound spectrum. Bassey's ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

United Artists, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $7.99
A warmly-crafted 70s album from the great Shirley Bassey – a set that continues that great move she was making at the end of the 60s – shaking off some of the bolder, brassier styles that famously got her going at the start, but which were maybe sounding a bit dated after the James Bond ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nocturne, 1968. Near Mint- ... $7.99
We've honestly never heard of Boone before – but according to the notes, he sang with Basie in the 60s – and overall, he does have a sound that's somewhere in the range of Joe Williams. However, unlike Williams, Boone seems to fancy himself as more of an overall singer – and ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

An incredibly groovy record – and one of two rare sides cut by Bossa Rio – a short-lived vocal group handled by Sergio Mendes!

Finding A New Friend ... LP Fontana, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A great collaboration between Oscar Brown Jr. and the breezy Brazilian singer Luiz Henrique!

Oscar Brown's score for a hip play that he wrote (one of his many plays!) – performed by him, Sivuca, and Jean Pace.

Beautiful work from the legendary Hoagy Carmichael – and one of the few albums to feature him singing his own work!

Sammy Davis Jr Sings Mel Torme's California Suite ... LP Reprise, Mid 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the harder to find Sammy records, and one of the best! Sammy takes Mel Torme's drippy "California Suite", an extended work about how great California is – and he turns it into an extended chat between Sammy and a friend in a bar in New York City, with twists and turns that ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Imperial, 1969. Near Mint- ... $9.99
Quite possibly the last great hit from singer Jackie DeShannon – an album built around the righteous spirit of the title track – filled with really wonderful original tunes penned by Jackie and soul singer Jimmy Holiday! The album may well be the best to explore the space between pop ... (Rock, Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Matt Dennis is best-known to most as the composer of the classic evergreen "Angel Eyes" – but he's also a pretty great singer and piano player, with an easy and hip style that's a lot like Bobby Troup. This album's one of the few he ever cut in this mode – and is a great ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Trend, 1953. Very Good ... $14.99
One of the few albums ever recorded by Matt Dennis – a cool-voice vocalist who was equally known as a songwriter! Matt's style here is nicely laidback – supper-club jazz, but with a nice hip twist – the kind of singer who could be playing a room with a gently swinging ease, but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jubilee, Late 50s. Very Good ... $1.99
A lesser-known set from vocalist Matt Dennis – not as well-remembered as his 50s dates for RCA and Kapp, but still pretty darn great nonetheless! Matt's working here with full backings from Sy Oliver – in a set that showcases his talents more as a singer than a songwriter – but ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Philips, 1962. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Great early stuff by this swingin' French vocal group! These guys swung as hard as American groups, like Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross – but they stuck to hipper, jazzier material, and had a driving sound that never let up! The group is led by singer Mimi Perrin, who also handed the ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
