Vibrations ... CD 
Arista Freedom/Black Lion (Germany), 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A seminal early moment from the legendary Albert Ayler – an important session recorded overseas in Copenhagen – where enthusiasm for Ayler's music caught fire more strongly than in the US! The group's got an edge that's maybe even sharper than some of Ayler's ESP material, but no less ... (Jazz) read more CD

A seminal early moment from the legendary Albert Ayler – an important session recorded overseas in Copenhagen – where enthusiasm for Ayler's music caught fire more strongly than in the US!

Witches & Devils ... LP Arista Freedom, 1964/1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Classic early material by Albert Ayler, recorded in New York in 1964, but originally issued only in Europe!

Arista Freedom, 1968. Near Mint- ... $7.99
Two jazz giants of the 70s come together on this rare Italian recording from the late 60s – South African pianist Dollar Brand (Abdulla Ibrahim) and Argentine tenorist Gato Barbieri – both working here in spare duo formation, with edges that are a fair bit sharper than most of their ...

(Mid 70s issue. Cover has a cut corner.)
Arista Freedom, 1973. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $19.99
A really great record – maybe worth it alone for the duets between Marion Brown on alto and Wadada Leo Smith on trumpet! These tracks take up the first half of the record – while the second features Brown in duets with Elliott Schwartz on piano and keyboards! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout hole, promo sticker, some ring and edge wear, a small index label, sticker spot, and radio station stamps on front and back.)
Marion Brown —
Porto Novo ... LP Arista Freedom, 1967/1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Genius early work from reedman Marion Brown – an album that was originally only issued overseas, where it was recorded – as part of that legacy that's always had Brown getting a lot more attention in Europe than back at home! Yet the record's a monster that stands equally with Marion's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dave Burrell —
High Won – High Two ... LP Arista Freedom, 1968. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A pretty great and very strange album by avant pianist Dave Burrell! Side one features an extended tune called "West Side Story", which is basically a medley of tunes from the musical, played with a nice dark edge by Burrell and a trio, plus additional tambourine work by Pharoah Sanders! ...

Black Lion/Arista Freedom, 1964. Near Mint- ... $14.99
Seminal work from trumpeter Ted Curson – a set that's issued under his own name, but which continues a string of key early 60s performances with tenorist Bill Barron – who's work together here with Ted is fantastic! The group has no piano – just Herb Bushler on bass and Dick Berk ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jan Garbarek with Terje Rypdal —
Esoteric Circle (aka George Russell Presents The Esoteric Circle) ... CD Arista Freedom, 1969. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Groundbreaking sounds from the Norwegian scene of the late 60s – an album that's got George Russell's name on the cover, but which actually features brilliant performances from a quartet who'd go onto become huge names in the ECM scene of the 70s! Yet the sound here is quite different than ... (Jazz) read more CD

Archie Shepp —
Montreux One ... LP Arista Freedom, 1975. Very Good+ ... $8.99
Great live material from Shepp – not out or crazy, but also not spiritual or hippy dippy, either. The record's kind of a perfectly soulful straight ahead set – in a mode that hints at the traditional direction Shepp would take at the time, but with a lot more interesting moments. The ...

Arista Freedom, 1975. Near Mint- ... $14.99
There might be a trumpet in Archie Shepp's soul, but the album features him on tenor and soprano sax – working in a wonderfully spiritual vein that's almost in the same mode as his early 70s work on Impulse! The album features some very long, drawn out tracks – but ones that build ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Cecil Taylor —
Silent Tongues ... LP Arista Freedom, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Beautiful free-flowing work by Cecil Taylor – and a key album to document his solo piano genius in the 70s! The album's an extended live performance, recorded at Montreux in 1974 – in an open, unbridled style that really shows the open spirit in Taylor's work at the time. The set ...

Charles Tolliver —
Ringer ... LP Arista Freedom, 1969. Sealed ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The start of a legend – a record that may well be called the birthplace of the Strata East record label – as the let features both trumpeter Charles Tolliver and pianist Stanley Cowell, working together in an early version of the Music Inc group that would be one of the key acts on ...

Mal Waldron —
Blues For Lady Day ... LP Arista Freedom, 1972. Near Mint- ... $24.99
Beautiful solo work from Mal Waldron – a tribute to Billie Holiday, the singer with whom Waldron worked during the vinyl years of her life! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some ringwear, thin stain at the spine, and some stained spots at the top left edge.)
Randy Weston with Billy Harper —
Carnival ... LP Arista Freedom, 1974. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
An unusual record for Randy Weston – a freewheeling live set recorded at Montreux in 1974, with Billy Harper joining Weston's group on tenor and flute, playing long spiritual solos that work wonderfully next to Weston's spiralling piano lines! Harper's searching quality really opens up the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
