Prestige, 1959. Very Good ... $19.99
Mose Allison's last album for Prestige Records – before moving onto even bigger fame at Columbia and Atlantic during the 60s! Unlike Allison's later sets, this one is mostly instrumental – but there are a few sweet vocal tracks that bring out the hip, rootsy lyrical modes that would ...

Mose Allison —
Creek Bank ... LP Prestige, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
One of Mose's best early albums – even though he hardly gets a chance to sing on it! The album features some great work by Allison's trio of the time – Addison Farmer on bass and Ronnie Free on drums – simple piano-driven groovers, performed with a slight gutbuckety approach, and ...

Prestige, 1958. Very Good ... $11.99
An all-instrumental set from Mose Allison – one that drops out his familiar jazz vocals, and really brings a nice focus to his energy on the keys of the piano! Given that Mose really got his start as a sideman in other combos during the 50s, the selection's no surprise – and if you've ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prestige, Late 50s/Early 60s. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A strange title, but the record's a pretty nice collection of Mose Allison's early work for Prestige – a collection that focuses only on his instrumental work as a pianist, and doesn't include any of his better-known vocals! Mose is a pretty great talent on the keys, and these tracks have ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Prestige, 1958. Very Good ... $19.99
A pivotal album for Mose Allison – and one of the first records to ever feature his voice, even if only on one track!

Prestige, 1958. Very Good ... $29.99
Tremendous early work from the great Mose Allison – a Prestige album that captures Mose when he was coming off some straighter jazz years as a pianist, but also working to discover his own unique groove as well!

Angel Eyes ... LP Prestige, 1965. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stone classic from Gene Ammons – and a record that introduced his talents to a whole new audience in the 60s!

Nice nice album on Prestige, bringing together Jug's earlier sides in 2 different settings.
