Bash! (Japanese paper sleeve edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD Jazztime/Muzak (Japan), 1961. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Rare material from Dave Bailey – a set that's filled with fire, soul, and imagination – recorded as part of the drummer's amazing (and amazingly short) early 60s run as a leader! The date smokes with the same sort of energy as Dave's great "Gutter" albums for Epic – a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Marion Brown —
Porto Novo (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Freedom/Muzak (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Genius early work from reedman Marion Brown – an album that was originally only issued overseas, where it was recorded – as part of that legacy that's always had Brown getting a lot more attention in Europe than back at home! Yet the record's a monster that stands equally with Marion's ... (Jazz) read more CD
Dave Burrell —
High Won – High Two (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Freedom/Muzak (Japan), 1968. New Copy Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A pretty great and very strange album by avant pianist Dave Burrell – and maybe one of the best-known calling cards for his unique genius on the keys! Side one features an extended tune called "West Side Story", which is basically a medley of tunes from the musical, played with a ... (Jazz) read more CD
Muzak (Japan), Late 60s/1970s/1980s. Used ... $14.99
Some of the greatest work we've ever heard from Dutch singer Ann Burton – rare recordings presented here for the first time ever, and arguably even better than some of the commercially-issued material she cut back in the day!

Julius Hemphill (Mbari) —
Dogon AD (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Freedom/Muzak (Japan), 1972/1977. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A seminal session from the St Louis scene of the early 70s – one that was humming nearly as much as Chicago was with the AACM at the time! As with the larger organization in the Windy City, St Louis had the Black Artists Group – of which Julius Hemphill was a key member, forming fresh ... (Jazz) read more CD
Freddie Hubbard —
Groovy (aka Dedication) (Japanese paper sleeve edition – with bonus tracks) ... CD Jazztime/Muzak (Japan), 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock
An excellent set of hardbop tracks – originally recorded under the leadership of trombonist Willie Wilson – but also issued under the names of Duke Pearson and Freddie Hubbard over the years! The set was cut in 1961 for the Jazztime label – and really crackles with electricity, ... (Jazz) read more CD
Human Arts Ensemble —
Under The Sun (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Freedom/Muzak (Japan), 1973. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Chicago had the Art Ensemble of Chicago at the end of the 60s – and St Louis had the fantastic Human Arts Ensemble at the start of the 70s – a wonderfully creative jazz group who shared a lot of the same ideas of improvisation and artistic freedom as the AACM up in the Windy City! This ... (Jazz) read more CD

Lee Konitz At Storyville/Storyville/Muzak (Japan), 1954. New Copy 2CDs ... Out Of Stock
Muzak (Japan), 1966. Used ... $34.99
Incredible early work from vocalist Karin Krog – a mid 60s session, but one that already shows that she was thinking farther than most other singers of the time! The timings on the tunes are quite unusual – a bit like those used by Sheila Jordan in the 60s, but often even more ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Gary McFarland —
Today ... CD Skye/Muzak (Japan), 1969. Used ... Out Of Stock
Wild stuff – and very different than Gary McFarland's earlier albums! Today was recorded late in Gary's career, and is has him moving a bit away from jazz – into a more sunshine pop feel – one that still retains plenty of the bossa and breezy elements of his Verve work, but which ...

Gary McFarland/Skye/Muzak (Japan), 1969. Used Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An unusual little soundtrack to this obscure pre-Roots film about slavery – handled with some very nice touches from Gary McFarland, Bobby Scott, and Grady Tate! The music is penned by Scott, and is mostly in that hip blend of jazz and soul roots that he was using on some of his own 60s ... (Jazz) read more CD
Duke Pearson —
Angel Eyes ... CD Jazz Line/Muzak (Japan), 1961. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A rare pre-Blue Note session from Duke Pearson – very mellow, very soulful, and with a quality that's unlike most of his later work! The album's a trio side, recorded for the Jazzline label, and it features Pearson on piano, Thomas Howard on bass, and Lex Humphries on drums – the last ... (Jazz) read more CD
Freedom/Muzak (Japan), 1966. New Copy ... $24.99
The first-ever album as a leader from tenorist Dewey Redman – a set that captures the rising musician at a level that's very full-formed, and which shows some of the roots of his years in Texas with a young Ornette Coleman! The vibe's different here than Coleman's music – at least in ... (Jazz) read more CD
(Part of the "Freedom Paper Sleeve Collection" series!)
Muzak (Japan), 2004. Used ... $9.99
A lovely tribute to the great Blossom Dearie – served up by Australian vocalist Janet Seidel, in a cool small combo mode that's very much in the style of Blossom's classic work!

Muzak/Ultra Vybe (Japan), 1989. New Copy ... $20.99 24.99
Grady Tate made a wonderful comeback at the end of the 80s – finally getting a chance again to show off that magnificent vocal style that he brought to some key Skye Records releases years before – emerging here with a maturity that's wonderful, and which seems to transform each song in ...
