Charles Earland —
Live At The Lighthouse ... LP Prestige, 1972. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A real killer from Hammond hero Charles Earland – a record that stretches out as much as his studio gems for Prestige, but in a slightly different way! The band includes lesser known players like trumpeter Elmer Coles, alto player James Vass, and conga player Kenneth Nash – but they ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Charles Earland —
Living Black (with bonus tracks) ... CD Prestige, 1970. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A stone cold live date from Charles Earland – recorded in Newark, at just the sort of club where he got his start! The tracks are quite long and openly grooving – even more so than Charles' killer studio sets from the time – and there's a bit of a harder edge here too, thanks ... (Jazz) read more CD

Prestige, 1967. Very Good ... $29.99
Great stuff – and one of the groovier Teddy Edwards sessions from the 60s! The group's a sextet – with Walter Davis piano, Paul Chambers bass, Billy Higgins drums, Phil Orlando guitar, and Montego Joe on congas and bongos. The band grooves in a soul jazz vamping mode – darkly ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Blue label pressing. NOTE: vinyl is great overall, but has a few tiny, secondary moments of groove damage – which make an odd short squeak a few times. The rest is great – and cover is great.)
Booker Ervin —
Blues Book ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1964. New Copy ... $11.99 12.98
Booker Ervin hits a great blue note here – working with a wonderfully soulful group that includes the mighty Carmell Jones on trumpet and Gildo Mahones on piano! These players both help Ervin hit a sound that's much more in the pocket than some of his other work on Prestige at the time ... (Jazz) read more CD
Booker Ervin —
Exultation! ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
A fantastic set by Booker Ervin, and one of his most overlooked sessions! Ervin's hard biting tenor is met by a warm thoughtful group that includes the great Horace Parlan on piano, plus Frank Strozier on alto, and Walter Perkins on drums. Perkins is wonderful, and he lyrically dances about the ... (Jazz) read more CD

Booker Ervin —
Freedom Book (RVG remaster edition – with bonus track) ... CD Prestige, 1963. New Copy ... Out Of Stock
One of the most far-reaching, exploratory records cut by Booker Ervin during the 60s – a set that really lives up to the "freedom" in its title! The album really takes off from some of Ervin's other work of the time – and stands along next to the equally-great Space Book as a ... (Jazz) read more CD
Booker Ervin —
Setting The Pace (plus The Trance) ... CD Prestige, 1965. New Copy ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A CD of very long tracks from Booker Ervin – only 4 tunes in all, but each over 15 minutes long! First up is the album Setting The Pace – an album that's one of the most open-ended and jamming sets that Booker Ervin recorded for Prestige in the 60s! The album's a live date from ...

Booker Ervin —
Song Book ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1964. New Copy ... $11.99 12.98
A wonderfully warm session from tenor legend Booker Ervin – maybe not as experimental as some of Booker's other dates for Prestige Records in the 60s – but a really wonderful record that fully explores the deep tones of his Texas tenor, and still lets him come off with a bit of an edge! ...

Gil Evans —
Big Stuff! (aka Gil Evans & Ten) ... LP Prestige/New Jazz, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... Out Of Stock
Fantastic early work from Gil Evans – emerging here in this early session as an already far-thinking modernist. The tracks are shorter and less ambitious than some of Evans' work on Impulse, but the group is excellent – and even in a shorter format, the conception of the work still ...

(Purple label New Jazz pressing with wide deep groove and RVG stamp/AB etch. Cover has light wear and aging.)
Prestige/OJC, 1957. Used ... $9.99
The Cats here are all quite hip ones – and the album's one of the best Prestige Records blowing sessions from the late 50s – an all-star sextet effort that features Tommy Flanagan on piano, John Coltrane on tenor, Idrees Sulieman on trumpet, Kenny Burrell on guitar, Doug Watkins on bass ...

Jimmy Forrest —
Out Of The Forrest ... LP Prestige, 1961. Very Good- ... Out Of Stock
Great work from one of the most under-rated tenor players of the 60s! Jimmy Forrest was an excellent player who made only a handful of recordings at the time – but he blows with a deep confidence that should have made him one of the biggest new stars on the scene. This set's one of Jimmy's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fuller sings and plays 12 string guitar – and also serves up a bit of washboard, fotdella, harmonica, and kazoo too! (Blues) CD

Red Garland —
Groovy ... LP Prestige, 1956. New Copy (reissue)... Just Sold Out!
Long tracks and plenty of room to move around – a perfect setting for the classic sound of the Red Garland Trio on Prestige! Despite the title, the album's not so much groovy as it is lyrically beautiful and filled with sensitivity – a key bridge between piano players of the mainstream ...

Red Garland with John Coltrane, Donald Byrd, George Joyner, Arthur Taylor, Richard Williams, Oliver Nelson, Peck Morrison, and Charlie Persip. (Jazz) CD
Prestige, 1959. Used ... $8.99
One of the harder to find Red Garland sessions on Prestige – two records' worth of material that was issued on 4 different albums!

Soul Burnin' ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1963. Used ... $19.99
A great set from Red – one of his best for Prestige! Side one of the album has him leading a quintet with Oliver Nelson on alto and tenor, and the great Richard Williams on trumpet.

Stretching Out (Satin Doll/Prestige, 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
Classic work by the Red Garland trio – 2 albums from 1959, back to back on one CD! The "stretching out" in the title is certainly appropriate, as Red's working in a more expanded setting here than most other pianists at the time – getting the room to craft long and thoughtful ...

Prestige/OJC, Late 50s. Used ... $7.99
Way more than just a standard trio album from pianist Red Garland – as the set also features excellent work from a young John Coltrane on tenor, plus trumpet from Donald Byrd! The group is nice for the date – a bit more bite than usual, with George Joyner on bass and Art Taylor on ... (Jazz) read more CD
Dexter Gordon —
Generation ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1972. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of Dexter's most solid albums on Prestige – and a great set cut at the Van Gelder studios with a rock-solid American lineup that includes Cedar Walton, Freddie Hubbard, Buster Williams, and Billy Higgins. The ensemble groove is a lot tighter than on some of Gordon's solo-heavy European ... (Jazz) read more CD

More Power! ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1969. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
"Power" is right, as this is one of Dex's few great group sessions from the late 60's. Unlike a lot of other records from the time – in which he solos long and meanderingly with a piano trio backing him up, on standards he's played a million times – this one has him playing ... (Jazz) read more CD

A great American set from Dexter Gordon – recorded at a time when most of his bigger records were coming from overseas!

One of the best-ever documents of the young genius of tenorist Wardell Gray – exactly the kind of music that shows why he was one of the biggest and best of the bop saxophonists – before he was taken away from us all too soon! The material here was originally issued on 78s or 45s, and ... (Jazz) read more CD

An unlikely meeting of talents – but a fantastic one too – and easily one of the most striking dates in the catalogs of both players!
