Prestige, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $16.99
One of Mose's best early albums – even though he hardly gets a chance to sing on it!

Bad Bossa Nova (aka Jungle Soul) ... LP Prestige, 1964. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
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! The session makes great use of 2 guitars at the same time – using that of Kenny Burrell for soulful rhythm, but also adding ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fantastic! This is one of Sonny Criss' masterworks, and an amazing tribute to the LA jazz underground of the 60's!

The first album by Eddie Daniels – and loads better than most of his later work! About half the tracks feature Daniels playing clarinet, which is OK – but the best ones have him on tenor, working away in a lyrical modal mode that's really great.

An early 10" from Miles Davis' name!
