Free Delivery ... LP Cadet, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!

Ain't Doing Too B-A-D, Bad ... LP Cadet, 1967. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Sweet LA soul jazz from trumpeter Bobby Bryant – an oft-overlooked player with a hard hitting sound that was a bit like Nat Adderley!

Ode To 52nd Street ... CD Cadet/Universal (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... About June 16, 2021
Less of the bop tribute that you might think – given the title – and more of a groovy batch of jazz tracks, with arrangements by Richard Evans, in the soulful bouncy style that was his best standard for mid 60s work at Chess!

Cadet, 1966. Very Good+ ... $19.99
Tremendous work from an alto player with a very unique conception – a player who was unlike Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, or some of his precursors on the instrument – and instead really took off in bold new directions, like Lou Donaldson or fellow Chicagoan Sonny Cox in the mid 60s! ...
