Spellbound ... LP 
Status/Prestige, 1964. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Sublime sounds from the always-amazing Ahmed Abdul-Malik – a jazz bassist at heart, but also a musician with a great ear for Eastern instrumentation as well! Ahmed cut a few key records at the end of the 50s and start of the 60s – and this spellbinding set may well be one of his ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Double Exposure ... LP Prestige, 1975. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
A lost chapter in the David Axelrod/Cannonball Adderley tradition – and one of Nat's best albums from the 70s!

One of Mose's best early albums – even though he hardly gets a chance to sing on it!

A pivotal album for Mose Allison – and one of the first records to ever feature his voice, even if only on one track!

Bad Bossa Nova is right – as Gene Ammons really hits a great groove here – one that's not exactly bossa, but which has lots of Latin and tropical touches!

Ahhhh . . . The Jam Session years of Gene Ammons!

An amazing album that has Art Blakey completely reinventing himself for the 70s!

Prestige/Moodsville/OJC, 1960. Used ... $3.99

Holy Modal Rounders ... LP Prestige, 1964. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
The first album for Prestige by The Holy Modal Rounders – the earliest of their early folk based material, with hints at the weirder sounds to come!
