Chicago Beat (with bonus tracks) ... CD 
Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1970/1973. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
Great work from this Chicago group – material recorded in France, but which wails with the best sound of the small blues clubs on the south side at the time! The core group features Louis Myers on guitar and harmonica, Dave Myers on bass, and Fred Below on drums – joined by Eddie ... (Blues) read more CD
Luther Allison —
Love Me Papa (with bonus tracks) ... CD Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1977. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
Luther Allison recorded famously for Motown during the 70s – but here, he's in a much more lean, stripped-down mode – really stretching out on these extended tracks that let his superb guitar work do as much talking as his vocals! But Allison's also got a fantastic voice – one ... (Blues) read more CD

Black & Blue (France), 1945. Near Mint- ... $14.99

(Cover has light aging and is bent a bit at the top right corner.)
Al Casey —
Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Jumpin' With Al ... CD Black & Blue/Night & Day (France), 1970s. Used ... Out Of Stock
A really unusual album from guitarist Al Casey – a player who uses an acoustic instrument here, but plays in a jazz-based mode – yet one that's a bit different than you might expect! Al's got a spacious approach, and really leans into the notes – almost like an acoustic blues ... (Jazz) read more CD
Eddie Chamblee —
Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Blowing In Paris ... CD Black & Blue (France), 1976. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the few later recordings we've seen from tenorist Eddie Chamblee – a player who first rose to prominence on the Chicago scene of the 50s, and one who's got a well-bitten style that creates a deeply soulful tone! Eddie's roots are more in swing than bop, but there's also a quality here ... (Jazz) read more CD

(1997 pressing.)
Arnett Cobb & Guy Lafitte —
Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Tenor Abrupt ... CD Black & Blue (France), 1980. Used ... Out Of Stock
Nothing abrupt here, as the sound is fluid and free – a great groove that almost gets as much from the sound of the rhythm section as it does from the tenor stars upfront! The aging tones of saxophone giants Arnett Cobb and Guy Lafitte are captured here with even more warmth and sensitivity ... (Jazz) read more CD
Black & Blue (France), 1973. Used ... $12.99
A set that has the tenor of Arnett Cobb reunited with the Hammond of Milt Buckner – but in an unusual quartet that also features Clarence Gatemouth Brown on guitar! Brown's presence definitely brings out some bluesier currents at times, and the tunes also get plenty of that raw, raspy tenor ... (Jazz) read more CD

Eddie Lockjaw Davis —
Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Light & Lovely ... CD Black & Blue (France), 1977. Used ... Out Of Stock
Nothing too light or lovely here – given that Eddie Lockjaw Davis plays with a tremendous growl on some of the best tracks on the set! Davis is a hell of a tenorist who found his biggest recording fame in the US during the 50s and 60s – but also cut some wonderful work overseas in the ... (Jazz) read more CD
Black & Blue (France), 1975. Near Mint- ... $11.99 19.99
Nothing too light or lovely here – given that Eddie Lockjaw Davis plays with a tremendous growl on some of the best tracks on the set!

Eddie Lockjaw Davis —
Nice Jazz 1978 ... CD Black & Blue (France), 1978. Used ... Out Of Stock
Eddie Lockjaw Davis is a hell of a player on his own – but he's maybe even more amazing when he works alongside other horn soloists – who always seem to inspire Davis to bring out the boldest, mouthiest side of his horn! That tenor is alive and well, and wonderfully set up here – ... (Jazz) read more CD

Jimmy Dawkins/Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A killer set – one that not only features vocals from Jimmy Dawkins on one half, and vocals from Big Voice Odom on the other – but which also includes some great guitar from the mighty Otis Rush! Rush is fantastic, twisting around Jimmy's own guitar, which is pretty darn great too ... (Blues) read more CD
Lefty Dizz with Johnny Big Moose Walker —
Chicago Blues Festival 1979 (with bonus tracks) ... CD Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1979. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
One of the first recordings to ever feature Lefty Dizz in the lead – done at a time when the singer/guitarist was a young star on the Chicago scene, but getting some key exposure here, thanks to an overseas recordings! Lefty's as great as you might guess from his name – a strong ... (Blues) read more CD

(Back cover has a small name sticker – front cover is great.)
Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
Two Chicago blues legends, coming together on stage at the Montreux festival – but with the sort of raw energy you might expect to hear when the pair were working together at a west side club! The guitar genius of Buddy Guy is no secret to anyone – but here, it's got a raw sense of ... (Blues) read more CD
Billy Harper/Black & Blue (France), 1986. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A spiritual soul jazz supergroup – featuring some of our favorite players of the Strata East 70s scene! This obscure recording was made in the mid 80s, but it's got the feel of the best 70s work by Harper, Fortune, and Cowell – a richly expressive session built around original ... (Jazz) read more CD

Luther Johnson —
Luther Blues (with bonus tracks) ... CD Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1976. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
Luther Johnson may be the star of the show, but he opens the door here for plenty of work from some key members of his group – the legendary Pinetop Perkins on piano, and the funky Jerry Portnoy on harmonica! When those musicians aren't taking the lead, Luther steps right up with soul-drenche ... (Blues) read more CD

Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Three Men On A Boat ... CD Black & Blue (France), 1983. Used ... Out Of Stock
If we had to pick three men to spend time on a boat with, we'd be hard-pressed to come up with a better trio – the soulful sax of Guy Lafitte, the burning Hammond of Wild Bill Davis, and the jet-propelled drums of Alvin Queen! Davis is working here late in his career, but still sounding ... (Jazz) read more CD

Magic Slim —
Highway Is My Home (with bonus tracks) ... CD Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1978. New Copy ... $11.99 16.99
At the time of this set, Magic Slim called Chicago his home – but the title may well be apt, as the set was recorded overseas in the Barclay Studios in Paris, at a time when Slim was hitting the highway to reach a wide global audience with his music! Despite that displacement, though, there's ... (Blues) read more CD

Sy Oliver —
Definitive Black & Blue Sessions – Yes Indeed ... CD Black & Blue/Night & Day, 1973. Used ... Out Of Stock
Trumpeter Sy Oliver was a big talent in the swing generation – where his sharpness and focus almost paved the way for later leaders and arrangers like Quincy Jones or Neal Hefti – and here, he brings that old school mode into sharper focus in a smaller ensemble – working with a ...

Black & Blue (France), 1973. Near Mint- ... $19.99

The great Jimmy Rogers was a key figure on the Chicago blues scene in the 60s – yet apart from a few recordings for Chess, it always seemed that some of his best recordings were done overseas – as is the case with this great French session from the early 70s! Despite the overseas ... (Blues) read more CD

Screaming & Crying (with bonus tracks) ... CD Black & Blue/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1974. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stunning little record from the great Otis Rush – one recorded in Paris, but with the feel of a smoky backroom in some tiny club on the south side of Chicago!
