EmArcy, 1955. Very Good+ ... $28.99
An early album that features Adderley's beautifully edgey alto sliding nicely through a set of standards conducted by Richard Hayman.

Clifford Brown —
Clifford Brown With Strings ... LP EmArcy, 1955. Near Mint- ... Temporarily 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 (Japan), 1954. Used ... $9.99
Great rare material from Clifford Brown's legendary days at Emarcy – tracks recorded as part of the Dinah Jams vocal sessions, but done in a much more extended jam session mode!

Classic Emarcy album that has a good portion of the label's jazz stars – including Clark Terry, Max Roach, Junior Mance, Dinah Washington, and Maynard Ferguson – all playing live in the studio, in a freer, Verve-ish kind of jam session that was not typical of the label's usual work. ...

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!

Rolf Ericson & His All American Stars ... LP EmArcy, 1956. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
A key American album from trumpeter Rolf Ericson – a player with roots in the Swedish scene, but one who also made some big waves on the west coast during the 50s!

A great early demonstration of the bold talents as a leader from trumpeter Maynard Ferguson – heard here in a loose, open-ended performance that's more of a jam session than anything else!

Amazing work from bop trumpeter Joe Gordon! Gordon was a lost talent who only cut a handful of records before his untimely death in 1963 – but he was a heck of a trumpeter, with a rich talent that we'd rank up there with Lee Morgan and Kenny Dorham. He plays in a group that includes Art ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the more enigmatic of Lars Gullin's mid 50s American albums – a session that features the master baritonist blowing alongside the Moretone Singers – a vocal ensemble who sings in cascading tones that kind of shade and color the background. The approach is different than other ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dave Lambert/EmArcy, Early 50s. Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the few albums to ever feature the pre-Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross talents of Dave Lambert on vocals – caught here in duets with Buddy Stewart, in a sweet vocalese mode!

Lennie swings, but he keeps it cool too – as this rare Mercury set steps off of the same octet energy Niehaus brought to his better-known sides for Contemporary in the mid 50s!

A stunner – and one of Clark Terry's finest moments ever!

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.
