Argo, 1960. Very Good+ ... $2.99

Kenny Burrell —
Night At The Vanguard ... LP Argo, 1959. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock

Art (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Argo (Japan), 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock

Landmark work by one of the greatest jazz outfits of the early 60s!

That's right, count 'em – 88 keys on the piano in all, and Ahmad does a pretty good job of hitting them all in this early album of piano virtuosity!

Ahmad Jamal —
Happy Moods ... LP Argo, 1960. Very Good ... $6.99
A sprightly set from the Ahmad Jamal Trio – but also a record that's not as brightly colored as you might guess from the title, thanks to a nice undercurrent of darkness in the mix!

Queen Of Soul (180 gram pressing) ... LP Argo/Elemental (Spain), Early 60s. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
Queen of Soul is right! Heck, on these early albums, Etta practically invented soul – or at least invented a deep soul style of singing that would be taken up by countless other female singers during the 60s, but rarely matched with this kind of brilliance. Straight up beautiful stuff! The ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Argo, 1963. Very Good+ ... $29.99
A jazz version of Meredith Wilson's score to Here's Love – one of those musicals that actually seems to survive more in the ranks of jazz history than Broadway history – thanks to recordings like this, which pumped up the score a bit!

Argo/Verve, 1959. Used ... $14.99
Great work from Moody's "second phase" – the post-Overbrook time in which he picks up the flute, drops a bit of the bop style, and starts working in a much more complicated style that showed that he had a hell of a lot of room to grow as an artist!
