Nessa, 1977. Used ... $14.99
One of the best albums ever by this legendary Chicago trio – a great example of the way that records on the Nessa label can really get to the heart of artists' intentions!

Missing Link ... LP Nessa, 1979. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
A well-titled set, given that Fred Anderson's been a missing link in Chicago jazz for many years – a bold tenorist with qualities that reach back to the heavy sax generation of the 50s, and a creative improvisor who's kept the AACM ideals alive and well in the Windy City for years! The ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Nessa, 1967. New Copy ... $14.99 16.98
An important pre-Art Ensemble Of Chicago moment – one that has most of the group coming together in a pair of rare recordings in the home of Lester Bowie – already sounding amazingly creative as a unit! The sound is almost freer than later work by the group – or certainly at the ... (Jazz) read more CD
Nessa, 1969. Very Good+ ... $59.99
Like the other Art Ensemble record on Nessa, Les Stances A Sophie, this one was recorded in France on the beautiful July 7, 1969 during one of the most fruitful periods for the group. Unlike that one, though, this one is a very different recording musically. The LP features one long track, the ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Lester Bowie —
Numbers 1 & 2 ... LP Nessa, 1967. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Some of the earliest work ever recorded by Lester Bowie as a leader – and a set that stands in importance right next to the early Delmark AACM sides by Anthony Braxton and Roscoe Mitchell! Plus, the album's almost an early Art Ensemble of Chicago effort, given the lineup – which ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Pink and orange label pressing, in the green top cover which has light wear and some stains in the top right.)
Bobby Bradford with John Stevens & The Spontaneous —
Bobby Bradford With John Stevens & The Spontaneous Music Ensemble – Vol 1 ... LP Nessa, 1971/1980. Near Mint- ... Out Of Stock
An unlikely, but amazing meeting of the avant jazz minds – a classic set that has LA trumpeter Bobby Bradford coming into play with the UK Spontaneous Music Ensemble, led by drummer John Stevens! The material was recorded, almost spontaneously, on a holiday trip Bradford made to London in ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Bobby Bradford/Nessa, 2014. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
Nessa, 1981. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A great set from the Chicago scene – one recorded in the early 80s, but put together with a really timeless sound overall! The album's a rediscovery of tenorist Eddie Johnson – a player who'd been away from music for part of the 70s, but who returns beautifully here with a raspy tenor ...

Nessa, 1976. Near Mint- ... $7.99
A wonderful later album from 50s cool jazz saxophonist Warne Marsh – one that really has an incredible focus on his tone! With his combination of a warm full tone and cool post-Tristano phrasing, Marsh has one of the most singular voices on the tenor, and one of our favorites! This mid 70s ...

Roscoe Mitchell —
Nonaah ... LP Nessa, 1977. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
A seminal session from Roscoe Mitchell – beautiful work recorded for the small Nessa label, and a real testament to the fragile beauty of his music! Some of the tracks are solo, and others feature Roscoe in shifting groups with other AACM players – a duet with bassist Malachi Favors, ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Roscoe Mitchell —
Old/Nessa, 1967/1975. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The great mid 70s issue of stellar Mitchell recordings from the early years of the AACM – All tracks were recorded in 1967 by Roscoe's quartet that included Lester Bowie, Malachi Favors, and Philip Wilson – one of the first truly mature groups to emerge from the bubbling cauldron of the ...

Roscoe Mitchell & Montreal/Nessa, 2018. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
The headier side of the great Roscoe Mitchell – a project that has some of the reedman's compositions transcribed for larger orchestra performance – but at a level that seems to be a natural evolution of the notion of "black classical music" that Mitchell first helped pioneer ...

Roscoe Mitchell with Yuganaut —
Four Ways ... CD Nessa, 2009. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
A great Roscoe Mitchell album on Nessa Records – and a set that really lives up to his best experiments on the label back in the 70s! Mitchell's working here on flute, soprano, and alto sax – with the Yuganaut trio that includes Stephen Rush on a range of keyboards, trombone, melodica, ... (Jazz) read more CD
Charles Tyler —
Saga Of The Outlaws ... CD Nessa, 1978. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A tremendous 70s album from Charles Tyler – one recorded with a rich, raw tone that's simply mindblowing! Tyler here has all of the deep soul we first came to love during his ESP years, but also a sound that's a bit more focused too – one that's extremely powerful, and boldly righteous ...
