Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $11.99 14.99
A beautiful album from Lorez Alexanderia – one of her two excellent sessions for Impulse! The record was cut after Lorez recorded some great sides for the Argo label – and it works off the strength of those sides, taking her unique vocal approach, forged in R&B, but smoothed by ...

Impulse, 1964. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $14.99
A beautiful album by one of our favorite jazz singers! Lorez Alexandria is in a perfect setting here – singing with subtly sophisticated backings that really let her take charge, and direct the songs tightly with her incredibly soulful vocals!

Impulse, 1969. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $49.99
Ayler's last album ever – and an incredibly strange batch of tracks that shows perfectly the kind of stylistic and emotional struggle he was going through in the final years of his life.

New Grass ... LP Impulse, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $49.99
One of the last albums that Albert Ayler ever recorded before his strange and mysterious early death – and one of his most memorable records as well!

Chapter One – Latin America ... LP Impulse, 1973. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $16.99
We love this record!

Quite possibly our favorite record ever from reedman Marion Brown – and very different than both his seminal 60s recordings, and his European sides from later years!

An unbelievable recording!

Mel Brown's fifth album – as we'd assume by the title – and a pretty darn tasty batch of funky numbers!

A great example of the cool, classy swing that Benny Carter hit in the 1960s – a groove that was more regularly brought to backings for standout singers of the time, but which also works beautifully here in an instrumental mode!

Meditations ... CD Impulse, 1966. Used ... Just Sold Out!
An album that's quite different than you might expect from the title – one of the most adventurous records issued on Impulse during the life of John Coltrane! The tracks here are all quite free and far-reaching – hardly the mellow "meditations you might expect – and more the ... (Jazz) read more CD
