Like many other 70s reissues in the Prestige/Milestone/fantasy family, this set compiles 2 early albums by Mose.

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!

All Mornin' Long ... LP Prestige, 1957. Near Mint- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the greatest albums ever issued under the name of pianist Red Garland – a standout blowing session in the best Prestige Records style of the late 50s! Red's the leader, but the session's equally weighted towards all players – including trumpeter Donald Byrd, and tenorist John ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

It's A Blue World ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1958/1970. Used ... Out Of Stock
Obscure material by Garland – sides recorded in 1958, but not issued until this 1970 LP! The tracks are from the richest point in Garland's recording career, and were done with the great rhythm section of Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums. The record's got some nice long tracks, ... (Jazz) read more CD

Manteca (with bonus track) ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1958. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the best by Red Garland for Prestige – a totally cooking record that features some great added conga work from Ray Barretto! Ray's presence really helps the record live up to its Latin-styled title – and Garland's usual trio with Paul Chambers on bass and Art Taylor on drums ... (Jazz) read more CD
Prestige, 1957. Used ... $8.99
Red Garland's piano was certainly humming strong at the time of this session – as Red's trio were one of the key rhythm components of many Prestige albums of the late 50s, but also a real starring act on their own! The album's got a laidback, almost mellow feel that's a bit different from ... (Jazz) read more CD

Soul Burnin' ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1963. Used ... Out Of Stock
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.

Dexter Gordon —
Ca'Purange ... LP Prestige, 1973. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
One of Dexter's best sessions from the 70s – and one that's got more soul, more power, and more ensemble playing than a lot of his other "soloist with European rhythm section" albums. The group's a great one – with Thad Jones, Hank Jones, and Louis Hayes laying down some very ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Panther! ... LP Prestige, 1970. Near Mint- ... $14.99
An overlooked US date from 1970 – a set that Dexter Gordon recorded during a quick stop home from his time abroad – really cooking away in the Prestige studios with a great little rhythm section, in ways that are quite different than his better-known European work of the time!

An excellent – and obscure – session of female vocals from the 50s! Singer Honi Gordon was part of a harmony group, The Gordons, who sung with Charles Mingus briefly in the 50s – and that modernist tradition is kept strongly in this, her one solo LP.

Central Avenue ... LP Prestige, Early 50s/1976. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Nice set that takes the 2 Wardell Gray Memorial LPs, and adds a few bonus tracks and a good set of liner notes. The material is classic LA bebop, and hardly needs an introduction.

Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... $9.99
A brilliant pairing from the 50s hardbop years at Prestige – the tight trombone of Bennie Green, and the sweet trumpet of Art Farmer – both captured here at an early point when they had plenty of edge!

A classic split album of bop piano from both coasts – kind of a double-header in jazz, and one that really packs a punch!
