Lenox Avenue Breakdown ... CD Sony/Koch, 1979. Used ... Out Of Stock
A stunning Columbia Records debut from Arthur Blythe – recorded at a time when the label was really sinking its teeth back into quality jazz, and helping artists like Arthur get some great new exposure!

Gary Burton Quartet —
Country Roads & Other Places ... CD RCA/Koch, 1969. Used ... Out Of Stock
Hardly the kind of country roads you'd find traveled by other musicians – as Gary Burton's sound here is incredibly fresh – still as groundbreaking now as it was back in the 60s! The title might be a reference to Burton's Nashville roots, and the music does have a slightly pastoral ... (Jazz) read more CD
Koch, 2008. Used ... $5.99
Sublime work from Vinicius Cantuaria – an album with a bit of bossa in the mix, but a bit more depth too – a sound that stretches out with a wonderful sense of feeling throughout! Cantuaria's vocals have just gotten better and better with age – not "old", but ... (Brazil) read more CD

Handle With Care ... CD Atlantic/Koch, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
Great work by this legendary hard swinging band – an early 60s American album issued on Atlantic Records, in the years before the Clark Boland Band's legendary run on MPS!

Karen Dalton —
It's So Hard To Tell Who's Going To Love You The Best ... CD Koch, 1960s. Used ... Out Of Stock
The 1969 debut studio album from Karen Dalton – one of the most unique voices of the 60s folk scene, and one of the most emotionally rich, blue & soulful – a heroine to many artists to come, and one of the (sadly) very few pieces of music she made in a professional studio she made ...

Atlantic/Koch, 1973. Used ... $4.99
A great example of the way that Gil Evans really opened up his groove in the 70s – moving here way way past the cool jazz and third stream of earlier years – into a soulful style that's far groovier than might be expected! Part of the strength of the set is because of the players ... (Jazz) read more CD

Atlantic/Koch, 1972. Used ... $11.99
A classic "discovery" of tenor saxophonist Von Freeman – one that was already relatively late in his career, but a key appearance on Atlantic under the auspices of Roland Kirk! The setting here is as loose and laidback as Von needs to really do his thing – backing by a trio ... (Jazz) read more CD

Mr. Rhythm ... CD Koch/RCA, 1956. Used ... Out Of Stock
A long overdue classic from Count Basie's excellent 50s guitarist!

Chico Hamilton's always been one of those musicians who never lost his groove, even in later years – and although this set isn't as groundbreaking as some of his key work from the 50s and 60s, it's filled with plenty of great moments – especially some key guitar and flute lines styled ...

John Handy —
2nd John Handy Album (plus bonus tracks) ... CD Columbia/Koch, 1966. Used ... Out Of Stock
Handy's really going for the college crowd here – breaking away from the modernist hardbop of his post-Mingus years, going for a melange of styles put together with a host of hipper San Francisco players that includes Jerry Hahn on guitar and Michael White on violin. There's traces of some ... (Jazz) read more CD

John Handy —
Projections ... CD Koch/Columbia, 1968. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Handy's important mind-expanding sets from the late 60s – a classic album with his group that featured a young Michael White on violin and Mike Nock on piano.

Roland Hanna —
Easy To Love ... CD Atco/Koch, 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
Roland Hanna's certainly easy to love here – working in a free-flowing trio mode, with a fair bit more soul jazz touches than on some of his later work!

Eddie Harris —
For Bird And Bags ... CD Exodus/Vee Jay/Koch, Mid 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem – with early work by the great Charles Stepney! As you might guess from the title, the record is ostensibly a tribute to Charlie Parker and Milt Jackson – but that's just on the surface, because there's a lot more going on here than simple boppish stuff. In reality, ... (Jazz) read more CD

Atlantic/Koch, 1967. Used ... $14.99
One of Freddie Hubbard's greatest records – a soaring bit of soulful modernism that's almost a precursor to 70s sounds on record labels like Black Jazz or Strata East!

A gem by Lee Konitz – one of his near-perfect 50s sessions for Atlantic! Lee's tone here is crisp, clear, and hauntingly fresh – modern, yet never academically so – and played with a dexterity that's incredible, but never too in love with itself to go too far. Key players on the ... (Jazz) read more CD

A classic session of cool jazz from the 50s – a majestic meeting of the alto of Lee Konitz and the tenor sax of Warne Marsh!

Prairie Dog ... CD Koch/Atlantic, 1966. Used ... Out Of Stock
Dark genius from Duke Pearson – quite possibly one of his hippest records ever, and an album that's filled with surprising twists and turns! At one level, the set seems to be a simple batch of soul jazz tunes – in the mode of Pearson's mid-60s classics on Blue Note – but at ... (Jazz) read more CD

A killer album of African-tinged jazz – recorded privately by Randy Weston in the mid 60s, and not issued formally until 1972 by Atlantic Records!

Mary Lou Williams/Atlantic/Koch, 1951. Used ... Out Of Stock
An odd pairing of musicians – but a classic album of piano jazz from the 50s, and some of the more obscure sides by both players!
