Things Are Getting Better ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1958. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Al Smith —
Midnight Special ... CD Prestige/Bluesville/OJC, 1960. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The second Prestige album from Al Smith – a great little singer with a sublime blend of blues, jazz, and soul! Smith really came on strong at the start of his career, but then dropped out of sight pretty quickly after this one – and we're really not sure why, given what a great little ...

Prestige/OJC, Mid/Late 60s. Used ... $6.99
A nice collection pulled together in the 80s by Fantasy from Stitt's organ-based sessions, that has a cool rolling groove throughout that you don't always find in some of his more bop-oriented sides. Sidemen include Jack McDuff, Don Patterson, Grant Green, Billy James and others, with 9 numbers in ... (Jazz) read more CD

Sonny Stitt & Jack McDuff —
Stitt Meets Brother Jack ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1962. Used ... $3.99
An album that was more famously issued under the title Nuther Fu'ther – and which features Stitt & McDuff in a very tasty set of ortan/tenor grooves, played with that style that Prestige was finally beginning to perfect in the early 60s, as it let these organ combos shake off their 50's ...

Clark Terry —
Top & Bottom Brass ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Clark Terry's breezy trumpet is paired with Don Butterfield's tuba for a real "top and bottom" session of brassy jazz. The two of them are backed by a sharp rhythm section that includes Jimmy Jones on piano, Sam Jones on bass, and Art Taylor on drums. The set's got a lot of nice ... (Jazz) read more CD

Pablo, 1980. Very Good+ ... $14.99
A set that really lives up to its title – thanks to some mighty bluesy playing from all players involved! The core of the album's a lot more relaxed than the usual Pablo date – long, stretched-out tracks that are simply titled "Alternate One", "Alternate Two", and ...

(Original Pablo Today pressing. Cover has some ring & edge wear and a piece of clear tape on the spine.)

Bobby Timmons —
Soul Time ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... Out Of Stock
A real standout set from Bobby Timmons – one of his few non-trio sessions as a leader, and a record that crackles with the same sort of energy he brought to his work with the Jazz Messengers! Of course, that's no surprise – as the quartet on the set includes Bobby's boss at the time, ... (Jazz) read more CD

Fantasy/OJC, 1955. Used ... $11.99
The title gets it right on this one – as the set's one of Cal's greatest straight jazz albums of the early years – done in a harder, and more soulful mode than some of his Latin-based sets from the time! The album features 2 different groups, both of them great – a main quintet ... (Jazz) read more CD

Cal Tjader & Mary Stallings —
Cal Tjader Plays Mary Stallings Sings (plus bonus tracks) ... CD Fantasy/OJC, 1961. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the few albums ever that has vibist Cal Tjader working with a vocalist – and not a bad idea, either, considering that Cal's cool style always seems to provide a compelling backdrop for a singer! Mary Stallings was a lesser-known west coast vocalist at the time – but she sings ... (Jazz) read more CD

Joe Turner —
Nobody In Mind ... CD Pablo/OJC, 1976. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Prestige/OJC, 1952/1953. Used ... $8.99
This is the kind of killer bop piano stuff that made Wallington a legend early on – collecting classic trios originally recorded for release as 10" LP in the early days of Prestige! The material features Wallington in three different groups, featuring Max Roach on drums, and either ... (Jazz) read more CD

Prestige/OJC, 1957. Used ... $18.99
George Wallington's New York Scene is a very sharp one – touched by the fire of George's earliest bop influences, but expanded out here with a nice degree of late 50s modernism! The group has a drum-tight performance throughout – with Phil Woods on alto and Donald Byrd on trumpet ... (Jazz) read more CD

Riverside/OJC, 1955. Used ... $4.99
An early full length album by Randy Weston – one that mostly features tunes by other composers, all given a slightly modern twist at the piano! The style here isn't as arch-modern or African-inspired as some of Weston's other 50s work – but it's still plenty darn great, and very much ... (Jazz) read more CD

Contemporary/OJC, 1962. Used ... $9.99
Relax, but not in a sleepy sort of way – because Gerald Wiggins really hits a great little groove on this record – one that bounces along with a soulful undercurrent that keeps things fresh, and still lets him soar on the keys when he wants to! Rhythm is by the team of Joe Comfort on ... (Jazz) read more CD
