A lost treasure from the glory days of the LA soul jazz bop scene of the early 60s!

Pacific Jazz, 1953. Very Good ... $99.99
Mindblowing early work from Chet Baker – quite possibly as clear a statement of the young trumpeter's genius as you might hope to find, served up here in a beautiful 10" LP package!

Pacific Jazz, 1969. Used ... $9.99
Groovy stuff! We'd never say a bad word about Buddy (or else he'd sock us one!), but this album is particularly nice – as it features Rich's swinging late 60s group doing some pop/jazz covers of groovy 60s tunes, plus some very tasty originals! All tracks are pretty short, and the band ... (Jazz) read more CD

Pacific Jazz, 1970. Used ... $8.99
Buddy certainly knew how to keep the customer satisfied – as you'll hear on this hip set of big band grooves, recorded by Buddy for Liberty Records in 1970, and issued here with a number of extra bonus cuts. The set's got Buddy working with a tight group of younger players, in a mode that's ... (Jazz) read more CD

Pacific Jazz, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $6.99
Very hard-burning work from Buddy's hip band of the mid 60s – a large ensemble, but one that features searing horn parts that cut through the bigger arrangements with ease! Buddy really had an ear for tuning power with personality at this point in his career – and although the group ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

One of the few albums that singer Annie Ross cut on her own away from the Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross group while she was still living in the US – and a great little set recorded with a group led by Gerry Mulligan!

Gasser ... CD Pacific Jazz, 1959. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Great stuff – one of Annie Ross' rare albums as a solo act away from her trio with Jon Hendricks and Dave Lambert – and a great little session cut with small combo jazz backing, which gives the song a nice swinging edge!

Barefoot Adventure ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1961. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Amazing! Although this album's a soundtrack to some goofy California surfer film, it's actually a killer batch of off-kilter jazz tracks composed by Bud Shank, and with a sound that's unlike anything we've ever heard from him!

Bud Shank Quartet ... LP Pacific Jazz, 1956. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Wonderful early work from reedman Bud Shank – one of the most lyrically expressive players on the LA scene of the 50s, and one who often disappeared into larger groups in the following decade! Here, though, Bud's nicely out front – blowing alto and a bit of flute, in his own tight ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bud Shank & Bill Perkins (with bonus tracks) ... CD Pacific Jazz, 1955. Used ... Out Of Stock
Great Bud Shank album, in which he's paired with two different groups on the two different sides of the record. Shorty Rogers holds the lead with him on one side, and Bill Perkins is on the other. Shorty's playing is good, but Perkins is fantastic here. Him and Shank's playing is the stuff that ... (Jazz) read more CD

A beautiful pairing of players – one that makes for a wonderful album!

A heck of a great Latin Soul album – one of the best of the 60s, and pretty darn rare as well! The set's the only one we've ever seen from leader Joe Torres – and it's an incredible blend of soul jazz and Latin rhythms that was one of the few west coast sessions of its type! Normally, ...
