Cannonball Adderley —
Julian Cannonball Adderley ... LP 
EmArcy, Mid 50s. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Very early work from Cannonball Adderley – recorded way before the funky years, when he was a hard-wailing soulful soloist with a lot of bop in his style! Cannon's paired here with brother Nat, a good companion even at this early stage – and the two of them solo in front of a large ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Nat Adderley —
Introducing Nat Adderley ... CD 
EmArcy/Verve, Late 50s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
An excellent batch of soulful bop tracks – recorded as Nat's first – and featuring a group that includes brother Cannonball, plus Horace Silver, Roy Haynes, and Paul Chambers. The set's got a lot more fire than some of Nat's recordings from a few years later, probably because of the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Clifford Brown —
Clifford Brown With Strings ... LP EmArcy, 1955. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A classic "with strings" session from Clifford Brown – nearly as well-done and perfect as some of Charlie Parker's sides for Verve, handled here with perhaps a slightly sweeter touch, as Neal Hefti's the man on arrangements. The core group's the Brown/Roach combo, augmented by a ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, Mid 50s. Used ... $1.99
Classic work recorded with Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, Harold Land, Dinah Washington, and Helen Merrill! (Jazz) CD
EmArcy/Verve, Mid 50s. Used ... $4.99
About as classic as you can get for the Brown/Roach group – recorded at Basin Street with a group that includes Richie Powell on piano, Sonny Rollins on tenor, and George Morrow on bass. Tracks are tight and in that firey hardbop mode the pair pioneered – and titles include "Gertru ... (Jazz) read more CD

EmArcy, 1955. Used ... $6.99
Quite possibly THE key example of the magic of Clifford Brown and Max Roach on record – a brilliant studio session that really has the group "incorporating" their sound – forging a bold musical statement that would forever leave its imprint on jazz for years to come! The ... (Jazz) read more CD

Clifford Brown & Max Roach —
Clifford Brown & Max Roach (with bonus tracks) ... CD EmArcy/Verve, Mid 50s. Used ... Out Of Stock
Brilliant work by the team of Clifford Brown and Max Roach – a seminal hardbop album that was one of the few to bridge the east and west coast scenes! The set was recorded in LA under the joint leadership of Brown and Roach – and features the classic quintet lineup that included Harold ... (Jazz) read more CD

Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Herb Geller, et al —
Best Coast Jazz (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD EmArcy (Japan), 1954. Used ... Out Of Stock
Not west coast, but "best coast" jazz – a prime example of the way the Clifford Brown/Max Roach team helped to cook up the intensity of the LA scene of the 50s by infusing it with a bit of New York fire! The album takes off in the extended mode of Clifford's All Stars album – ... (Jazz) read more CD

Previously unreleased 60s recordings with Eddie Calhoun on bass and Kelly Martin on drums. (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, 1955. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Excellent small group work from vibist Terry Gibbs – just the kind of set that shows why he was one of the best known players on his instrument in the 50s! Gibbs has a clear, clean style here that's never too laidback, nor too prone to over-done flourishes – a style that was born in ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dick Johnson —
Music For Swinging Moderns ... LP EmArcy, 1956. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of the few albums ever recorded by one of our favorite alto players of the 50s! Dick Johnson is a real lost talent – a sharp-edge player who came from the same Boston scene as Charlie Mariano, and who had a similarly soulful approach! His tone is as sharp as that of Lee Konitz, but he ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

EmArcy, 1956. Used ... $8.99

EmArcy/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1980. New Copy ... $13.99
A wonderful album from Helen Merrill – one of the few jazz singers we can think of who continued to grow stylistically as the years went on! This majestic album was recorded in 1980, and it features Merrill dipping into a modern Brazilian bag – working with baroque arrangements that ... (Vocalists) read more CD
Helen Merrill —
Dream Of You ... CD EmArcy, 1956. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Dream Of You is one of Helen's best from the 50s, thanks to some great arrangements from Gil Evans! Evans' young and modern talents are a perfect fit for Helen's sadly icy vocals on the set – taking her to new places never reached on some other sessions that were trying for a warmer, sweeter ...

Monday Michiru —
Mermaid ... CD EmArcy (Germany), 1998. Used ... Out Of Stock
An EP release – but one that offers up a great standout moment in the career of Monday Michiru – and a record that has the power to knock away most other contemporary soul of the time! Monday's picking up a bit more of a clubby vibe than her earlier years – getting great help ... (Neo Soul) read more CD

EmArcy, 1956. Very Good ... $6.99
Gerry Mulligan's still far from the mainstream of jazz on this sweet little set – a great date that expands nicely from the mellower styles of the Pacific Jazz years – expanding the group a bit, with some really great results! In addition to Mulligan's usual baritone sax, Gerry also ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, Early 50s. Good+ ... $6.99

This Meets That ... CD EmArcy, 2007. Used ... Out Of Stock
EmArcy, 1955. Very Good- ... $5.99
A hip album from Sarah Vaughan – one recorded with great jazz backings from Ernie Wilkins, and featuring a young Cannonball Adderley as the main soloist! The addition of Adderley's alto definitely brings a swinging sound to the set – a sense of soul that's even deeper than usual for ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, 1956. Very Good+ ... $4.99
One of Vaughan's nice jazz sides from the 50s on EmArcy, but cut with slightly larger backing, almost in the vein of some here concurrent pop oriented work at the Mercury parent label during the same time. Arrangements are by Hal Mooney, and Vaughan takes an approach that showcases how she ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Sarah Vaughan —
Swingin' Easy ... CD EmArcy/Polygram, 1954/1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
Very nice jazz-oriented material that has Sarah working with Jimmy Jones, one of her best accompanists, or John Malachi, who was in Billy Eckstine's band at the same time Sarah was with the group. All the tracks have nice small combo instrumentation – and Sarah keeps things nice and warm ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Dinah Washington —
Dinah Jams ... CD EmArcy/Phonogram, 1954. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the best jazz-based sessions recorded by Dinah Washington in the 50s – appropriately titled Dinah Jams, which is a pretty good reference to the feeling of the set! The sessions were recorded in a relatively relaxed, intimate feel – not necessarily as unbridled as a true jam ... (Vocalists) read more CD

For Those In Love (with bonus tracks) ... CD EmArcy, 1955. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Excellent small group jazz work from Dinah – of the sort that's often quite tough to find on vinyl, and which represents some of her best work of all time! The album's got a good group of Mercury jazz players – like Clark Terry, Paul Quinichette, Cecil Payne, Wynton Kelly, and Jimmy ... (Vocalists) read more CD

EmArcy, 1955. Very Good ... $9.99
Don't get this John Williams confused with the bigger-name soundtrack composer of later years – because this set is pure piano jazz all the way through, played by an artist who shined briefly with Stan Getz in the mid 50s! Although little-known, Williams is a great link between bop and ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
EmArcy, Late 40s. Very Good+ ... $7.99
Important early recordings from the key years of bebop and cool jazz – with Mercury sides by Red Rodney, Lennie Tristano, Chubby Jackson, Bill Harris, Gene Ammons, and Billy Eckstine! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
