Benny Golson —
Gettin' With It ... CD New Jazz/OJC, Early 60s. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Soul jazz Benny – and very nice! Unlike some of Golson's other, more arranged sessions from the time, this one is a laidback quintet set, with strong emphasis on blowing, which you'll hear plenty of in the album's long open-ended tracks! Golson's tone is always great, but here he hits a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Modern Touch ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The modern touch indeed! You can't get any more classic Benny Golson than this – a sublime late 50s album that features Benny with a sextet, working out amazing versions of the sorts of material that set him apart from every other jazz arranger of the time! The tracks here are complicated, ... (Jazz) read more CD
Jazzland/OJC, 1960. Used ... $9.99
Hard edged jazz stuff, featuring the great tenorist in a spare (and rare) setting away from Duke Ellington's band.

Tangerine (with bonus track) ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1975. Used ... $9.99
A great American set from Dexter Gordon – recorded at a time when most of his bigger records were coming from overseas!

Johnny Griffin —
Change Of Pace ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1961. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
For a guy who played a strange instrument, Julius Watkins sure got around! Case in point is this strangely wonderful album from 1961, in which Johnny Griffin used the talents of Watkins to create a strange album of moody textures and rich waves of sound. Watkins french horn is on about half the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Tough Tenor Favorites ... CD Jazzland/OJC, 1962. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The soulful tenor of Eddie Lockjaw Davis meets the modernist bop sounds of Johnny Griffin in another one of their fierce two-tenor sides from the early 60s!

Seance ... CD Contemporary/OJC, 1966. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A nice title for this mid 60s set from Hampton Hawes – given that by this time in his career, Hawes often hits these spun-out lines that are completely entrancing – almost enough to spirit us away to the underworld! The album's a live one, but done with an intimate feel – and ... (Jazz) read more CD
