Collection (Believe It/Million Dollar Legs)

CD (Item 570940) Columbia/Legacy, 1975/1976 — Condition: Used
$3.99 ...

CD

Two albums of crackling funky fusion from Tony Williams' "new" version of his classic Lifetime group – a quartet that featured some smoking guitar work by jazz rock legend Allan Holdsworth! The sound on Believe It is very full-on and jamming – fuzzed-out guitars taking over most of the tracks, and Tony jumping into the fray with some really frenetic work on drums – miles away from his earlier jazz work in the 60s, and really taking off with the best sort of rock/jazz fusion energy! Titles include "Snake Oil", "Fred", "Proto Cosmos", "Red Alert", and "Mr Spock". Million Dollar Legs is a million miles from his work with the Miles Davis Quintet on this record – grooving in a heavy rock/fusion mode with his group that includes Allan Holdsworth on guitar, Tony Newton on bass and vocals, and Alan Pasqua on keyboards! The tracks have a post Jeff Beck kind of approach – lots of heavy riffing in a way that does create a bit of funk at the right moments, almost in the Alphonze Mouzon/Tommy Bolin mode – and Williams' drums are right at home in the setting, and somehow filled with as much imagination and creativity as before! Titles include "Sweet Revenge", "Inspirations Of Love", "Lady Jade", "What You Do To Me", and "Joy Filled Summer".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Used CD Grade

We use the all-encompassing grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or packaging details, or an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the CD. This might include, but isn't limited to, scratches, tracks that skip, case/insert damage or wear, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Blue Note, 1965. Used
Startling! This album is one of two that a young Tony Williams cut for Blue Note, back when he was just hitting the age of 20, and when he was already blowing the minds of masters like Jackie McLean (who first hired him) and Miles Davis (who stole him from Jackie for his own group!) with an ... CD

Wynton Marsalis

Wynton Marsalis
Columbia, 1982. Used
The classic debut of a young Wynton Marsalis – cut after a stretch when Wynton was working with Art Blakey, and had really sharpened his chops! The record's a wonderful return to straight jazz tradition for Columbia – but it also has some modern moments too – proof that the ... CD

CD

Wynton Marsalis

Majesty Of The Blues
Columbia/Wounded Bird, 1989. Used
A bit more of a high concept album than some of Wynton Marsalis' previous efforts – a set with a few more added horns on side one, and an extended suite on side two! The work definitely shows Wynton's increasing concern with jazz history – his desire to embrace, and sometimes represent ... CD

Dave Brubeck

Tracks include "Perdido", "Koto Song", "Strange Meadow Lark", "The Duke", "Blue Rondo A La Turk", "Sapito", and "Audrey" – 15 tracks total. CD

Miles Davis

Sorcerer
Columbia/Legacy, 1967. Used
Another bold new direction for the legendary Miles Davis Quintet of the 60s – a set that has some of the angular styles of earlier albums, but also a bit more of the flowing grace to come in the electric years! A key illustration of this is the leadoff track "Prince Of Darkness" ... CD

Roger Lewis on baritone and soprano saxophone and percussion, Jenell Marshall and Lionel Paul Batiste Jr on drums and percussion, Keith Anderson on sousaphone, Kevin Harris on tenor saxophone, Revert Andrews on trombone and percussion, Efrem Towns on trombone, Gregory Davis on trumpet and ... CD
Columbia, 1977. Used
A really wonderful album from Dexter Gordon's later years at Columbia – and a rare session that pairs larger arrangements with his soulful voice on the tenor and soprano saxophone! Although other players worked often in this mode, the record may well be the only one of its type for Dexter ... CD
Columbia, 1970. Used 2 CDs
Four sides of long improvised grooves from Miles Davis – a set that's quite similar to the classic studio album Bitches Brew, but which captures the sound in more open live setting! Each track on each side is named "Wednesday Miles", "Thursday Miles", and so on – ... CD
Columbia (Japan), 1973. Used 2 CDs
Mingus live is always a treat – especially in these later years, when the fire seemed to go out of most of his studio recordings. Live, though, he always managed to kick it hard - with the sort of emotion that graced his strong early albums. And despite the fact that this one's conducted by ... CD

Stanley Turrentine with The Three Sounds

Blue Hour Vol 2
Blue Note (Japan), 1960. Used
A really great idea for a jazz session – one that takes the already-great Blue Note piano trio the Three Sounds, and uses them as a backup combo for the tenor of the great Stanley Turrentine! The approach is different than some of Stan's other work – given the piano of Gene Harris, ... CD
