A rare slice of Duke Ellington at Newport in the 50s – recorded live at the festival in 1959, but unlike other sessions of the time, never issued on record!

Bustin Out ... LP EmArcy, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A rollicking batch of 60s instrumentals, served up by drummer June Gardner – billed as Gentleman June on the cover!

EmArcy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
Very nice album of short jazzy cuts, recorded by Bill Harris, the guitarist for The Clovers. This Bill's not to be confused with the trombonist Bill, also from the same era – as his sound's a lot more soulful, with nice touches of his R&B roots. Titles include "Golden Sunset", ...

Clark Terry —
Clark Terry ... LP EmArcy, Mid 50s. Fair ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stunner – and one of Clark Terry's finest moments ever! The record has a rawness and groove that you'd hardly expect from his later albums – no surprise, though, considering that it was cut during that really hip time at Emarcy, when the label was working in a mode that was darker ...

EmArcy, Mid 50s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
The Hi Fi in the title might imply that there's a bit more going on here arrangement-wise than on some of Dinah's other albums – but the scoring by Hal Mooney is still pretty straight, in a sophisticated jazzy mode that works best with the vocals, and which never overwhelms the singing for ...

John Williams —
John Williams Trio ... LP EmArcy, 1955. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
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
