Ernie Andrews —
Travelin Light ... LP 
GNP, Mid 50s/1975. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
Some of the earliest work we've ever seen from LA singer Ernie Andrews – much better known for his 60s sides, but sounding great here overall! Side one of the album's from a 1958 date arranged by Gerald Wiggins and featuring Eric Dolphy on alto sax – tunes done in a slightly bluesy ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Jack Costanzo —
Mr Bongo & His Afro Cuban Band ... LP GNP, Late 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A classic set of west coast Latin from Jack "Mr Bongo" Costanzo! The album's one of Jack's best from the early days – a hard-driving set of short and jazzy numbers that are filled with strong percussion and good solos – showing that LA could cut Latin every bit as great as ...

Jack Costanzo & Eddie Cano —
Costanzo, Cano, & Bongos ... LP GNP, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Firey Latin jazz material from two of LA's biggest proponents of the music! Jack "Mr. Bongo" Costanzo leads the group – and Eddie Cano joins in on some guest piano that's way better than any of his early 60s work for other labels. Pretty nice, if a bit restrained time-wise, thanks ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Dick Dale & His Del-Tones —
Dick Dale & His Del-Tones Greatest Hits ... LP GNP, 1975. Near Mint- ... $19.99
Lost later genius from Cali guitar great Dick Dale – a set recorded in the 70s, but one that stays very faithful to the spirit of his classic 60s material on Capitol! In fact, the sound here may even be more lean and stripped-down – as the recordings were done at the classic Gold Star ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

GNP, 1967. Used ... $5.99
A pretty tasty little album from trumpeter Don Ellis – his first funky outing for Columbia Records, and a groundbreaking batch of funky big band material! The set's quite different from some of Don's earlier recordings – in that it's a bit less academic, and has a focus more on a strong ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bobby Enriquez with Richie Cole —
Wild Man Meets The Madman ... LP GNP, 1982. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A bit different than some of Bobby's other albums – as Richie Cole guests on alto sax, plus Bruce Forman on guitar, Bob Magnusson on bass, and Shelly Manne on drums! (Jazz) LP, Vinyl record album
Fire Escape —
Psychotic Reaction ... LP GNP, 1967. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A searing set of west coast psych from a very mysterious group – served up here on a record that was done as a bit of exploitation vinyl at the time, but which has gone on to achieve legendary status over the years! The set's got a raw, ragged energy right from the start – every bit as ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Dizzy Gillespie with Chano Pozo —
Dizzy Gillespie & His Big Band In Concert ... LP GNP, 1948. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A legendary bit of cubop! Diz is playing here with the band that virtually invented Latin Jazz – the one that featured Chano Pozo on conga, plus great soloists like James Moody and Ernie Henry – all blowing beautifully in a style that's one of the most perfect realizations of the cubop ...

Lionel Hampton & The Just Jazz All Stars (alternate cover) ... LP GNP, Early 50s. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
One of the few albums to really get at the genius of the Lionel Hampton group at the height of their powers – their crowd-pleasing antics that were always a big draw for live audiences!

GNP, Early 60s. Sealed ... $14.99
An obscure west coast session by Machito – recorded at the Crescendo night club in LA , but done in the same hard style as Machito's groundbreaking New York sides of the time. Graciela sings vocals on a few cuts, and Machito and the trio sing on a few more – but the other half of the ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Machito —
World's Greatest Latin Band ... LP GNP, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Fairly standard work from Machito, with a number of vocal cuts that feature either Machito or Graciela – but a record that really shines in the jazzy moments!

GNP, 1967. Near Mint- ... $24.99
A trippy 60s treasure from this groovy west coast group – a cool quintet led by the fuzzy-headed Steve Hoffman – who not only wrote some very unusual tunes for the combo, but also comes up with an equally unusual mix of instruments! The music is half psych, half sunshine pop – ... (Rock) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Best Of Max Roach & Clifford Brown In Concert ... LP GNP, 1954. Near Mint- ... $14.99
It's hard to overstate the influence of Max Roach and Clifford Brown on the west coast scene of the 50s – as the two players helped draw out the bop sound of LA that was quickly getting lost in the cool jazz shuffle of the time, and gave it a strength and focus that not only made the group ...

Full Spoon Of Seedy Blues ... LP GNP, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Wicked work from the great Sky Saxon – an early record that really gets at the sheer raw power of his best work! Despite the title, the album's hardly a straight set of blues – more a blend of hard rock, psychedelia, and rootsy influences – in the manner of some of the earliest ...

Raw & Alive – The Seeds In Concert ... CD GNP/BCI, 1968. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the great fake live albums of the 60s – a set that promises to be a concert performance from the title and cover, but which actually just features The Seeds playing live together in the studio!

GNP, Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
