Cry Tender

CD (Item 715122) Prestige/OJC, 1959 — Condition: Used
Temporarily Out Of Stock

CD

✈
❔
Wonderful late 50s work by Yusef Lateef – played in that "jazz exotic" style he was using to perfect form at the time, a mixture of the lyrical hard bop of the Horace Silver group, with some of the more spare and eastern styles used by groups like the early Sun Ra Arkestra. The drummer, Frank Gant, makes ample use of brushes and mallets to keep the rhythms in a mode that works with the overall sound – and other players include trumpeter Lonnie Hillyer and pianist Hugh Lawson, both of whom were part of the super-hip Detroit scene that spawned Lateef. Titles include "Cry Tender", "Butter's Blues", "Dopolous", "Sea Breeze", and "The Snow Is Green".  © 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.

Yusef Lateef

Voice Prints
Arawak, 2014. Used
Some of the most spiritual work we've heard from Yusef Lateef in years – a set cut with AACM legends Roscoe Mitchell and Douglas Ewart, and done with a sound that takes us back to the legendary sounds of both players in the 70s! Adam Rudolph also joins the quartet, bringing in some great ... CD

Yusef Lateef

Blue Yusef Lateef
Atlantic/Label M, 1968. Used
One of our favorite Atlantic albums by the great Yusef Lateef – an incredible session that has him dipping back into his earlier exotic roots with those great reed styles of the early 60s – yet also hitting a mix of soul and funk like some of his other albums from the time! The sound ... CD

Richard Groove Holmes

Blue Groove
Prestige, 1966/1967. Used
With Harold Vick and Teddy Edwards on tenor saxes, Blue Mitchell on trumpet, Gene Edwards and Pat Martino on guitar, Paul Chambers on bass, and Billy Higgins, Freddie Waits or George Randall on drums. CD

Bill Evans

Tokyo Concert
Fantasy/OJC, 1973. Used
A great live date from Bill Evans – one of his essential sides of the 70s, even if you've already got a bunch of other Evans live material! We know what you're thinking: "Do I have this one? Seems to be a lot of tunes here that I've got on other Evans recordings." But take it ... CD

Eddie Lockjaw Davis/Coleman Hawkins/Arnett Cobb/Bu

Very Saxy (RVG remaster edition)
Prestige, 1959. Used
The title's terrible, but the album's a great one – a really classic-styled jam session, of the sort that the Prestige label hardly ever recorded! The session features 4 tenor giants of slightly older vintage – Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Coleman Hawkins, Arnett Cobb, and Buddy Tate – ... CD

James Clay & David Fathead Newman

Sound Of The Wide Open Spaces
Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used
Texas tenors locked in hard formation! The set's a wonderfully stripped-down set that has James Clay and David Fathead Newman playing head-to-head in a rootsy Texas tenor style jazz session – one that's a bit more open-ended and earthy than some of the faker tones on Newman's early work for ... CD
Prestige, 1967. Used
The first album that guitarist Pat Martino ever cut as a leader – and an excellent mix of styles that links his soul jazz roots with his later, trippier recordings! The group here is a sextet, and it features organist Trudy Pitts (who was Martino's boss at the time), plus flute, drums, and ... CD

Eddie Lockjaw Davis

Straight Ahead
Pablo/OJC, 1976. Used
A great quartet date – no-nonsense, and a perfect setting for Davis to hit some very classic modes! Eddie plays tenor with Tommy Flanagan on piano, Keter Betts on bass, and Bobby Durham on drums. CD

Arnett Cobb

Movin Right Along
Prestige, 1960. Used
Probably the best of Arnett's albums for Prestige – thanks to an incredible set of players that includes Bobby Timmons, Sam Jones, and Art Taylor. With a group like that it's hard to miss – and believe us, Arnett doesn't! Timmons' firey piano is a nice change from some of the more ... CD

Bill Evans & Eddie Gomez

Intuition
Fantasy/OJC, 1974. Used
A great pairing, heard perfectly here – on titles that include "Show Type Tune", "Invitation", "Blue Serge", "Are You All The Things", and "Falling Grace". CD
Prestige, 1968. Used
2 classic albums by the team of Don Patterson and Sonny Stitt – back to back on one CD! Funk You is a very cooking set by organist Patterson – and one that has him leading a 2-horn frontline that includes Sonny Stitt and Charles McPherson. Pat Martino's on guitar, and Patterson's ... CD

Eric Dolphy with Booker Little

Far Cry (plus bonus track)
Prestige/OJC, 1960. Used
Eric Dolphy's first meeting in the studio with trumpeter Booker Little – a brilliant batch of modernism that's easily one of the hippest records Little ever worked on! The Dolphy heard here is Eric at his most inventive – sharp-edged and angular one minute, then spiritually lyrical the ... CD
