Limelight/EmArcy, 1959. Used ... $4.99
A great session from 1959 – one that features John Coltrane playing tenor in a combo that's billed as being led by altoist Cannonball Adderley – but which is really more of a Miles Davis combo, without Miles! The set was recorded in Chicago when both were stopping through the city ... (Jazz) read more CD

Limelight/Universal (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... $21.99 24.99
A really cool 60s session from the great Chet Baker – one that moves away from the standard sound of his 50s work, and shows that unusual sense of careful sonic energy that would mark his further development over the decades! Chet's got a great sound here – blowing flugelhorn instead ... (Jazz) read more CD
Limelight/Universal (Japan), 1965. Used ... $9.99
Chet Baker serves up a tribute to Billie Holiday, but in a set that's very different than you might expect – very much a Chet Baker album overall, and one that's done at a time when Chet was doing a lot less vocalizing on record!

S Make It ... CD Limelight/Verve, 1964. Used ... Out Of Stock
A lost classic from Art Blakey – quite different from some of his Blue Note work! The album's a very swinging mid 60s session, noteworthy for the presence of John Gilmore, recording here in one of his few appearances away from Sun Ra.

Soul Finger ... LP Limelight, Mid 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of the most obscure mid 60s sides by Blakey – but a great one! The record features a strangely-chosen lineup of the Jazz Messengers that includes Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, Lucky Thompson, and John Hicks.

Limelight, 1964. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A fitting title for a great album – Eric Dolphy's last live recording, performed on June 2, 1964, with a trio of youngsters that included two of the greatest names in European avant garde jazz – Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink!

Limelight/Universal (Japan), 1964. New Copy ... $18.99 24.99
A great little record – one that showcases the continuing commitment of Dizzy Gillespie to exploring the world of Latin and Caribbean rhythms, but in a way that's very different than his early cubop experiments of the 40s! The tracks are nice and long here – very open and flowing, with ... (Jazz) read more CD

Limelight, 1966. Used ... $24.99
One of Milt Jackson's best albums from the 60s – and one we love because it's got a lot more of a soul jazz feel than others!

Unbelievable! This is one of the maddest Roland Kirk albums of all time – and it's also one of the hardest to find!

Bucket O' Grease ... CD Limelight (Japan), Late 60s. Used ... Out Of Stock
A killer little set from Les McCann – one of his greatest records of the 60s, thanks to a fair bit of Latin Soul influences!

Les McCann plays the hits – but he does so in a very groovy way, and in a style that takes things nicely past the trio modes of his albums from the early 60s!

One of Oscar Peterson's most sophisticated albums of the 60s – an extended suite of tracks dedicated to the soul and spirit of Canada!

Oscar Peterson pays tribute to the late Nat King Cole – not only on piano, but also with a bit of vocals as well!
