Sonny Rollins —
Sound Of Sonny (20 bit remaster) ... CD Riverside, 1957. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A landmark album from Sonny Rollins – a record that really lives up to its title, as it shows the maturing tenorist really finding his own voice in jazz – a sound that's unlike any other! Rollins' Riverside work sometimes seems to get overlooked sometimes in light of his freer late 50s ... (Jazz) read more CD

George Russell —
Ezz-Thetics (Riverside) ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1961. Used ... $7.99
Angular modernism from George Russell – a record that's still strongly preoccupied with his interest in modes and tones, but which also manages to swing nicely as well! The group here is a sextet – with Eric Dolphy making a great appearance on alto and bass clarinet – alongside ... (Jazz) read more CD

Johnny Hammond Smith —
Little Taste (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD Riverside/Universal (Japan), 1963. Used ... $28.99
One of our favorite early albums from Johnny Hammond Smith – a killer set that has the organist working with two great horn players – tenorist Houston Person and trumpeter Virgil Jones, both of whom are making great early appearances on record! The presence of the horns really makes ... (Jazz) read more CD

Staple Singers —
Hammer & Nails (180 gram pressing) ... LP Riverside/4 Men With Beards, 1962. New Copy (reissue)... Out Of Stock
A classic pre-soul album by The Staples – very different than their later secular work of the 70s, but every bit as excellent! The album was done in a folksy spirit for Riverside at the start of the 60s – and captures the group in very raw, stripped-down format – with just guitar ... (Soul) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Riverside, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $1.99
One of the most unusual albums on the Riverside label – an obscure outing from vocalist/pianist Ralph Strain – presented with a cover that lists the names of all the people who are permitted to buy the record! We're guessing that Riverside allowed unlisted folks to buy the record ... (Vocalists) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... $6.99
A great early date as a leader from trumpeter Clark Terry – one cut during the stretch when he was keeping company with players like Thelonious Monk and Johnny Griffin! The latter player is a key member of Terry's group here – as Johnny's tenor adds a nice sharp edge to Clark's trumpet ... (Jazz) read more CD
Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... $14.99
One of the first American albums from Belgian guitarist and harmonica player Toots Thielemans – a sharp-edged session that brings a new level of jazz into his work! The title's hokey, but the sound is totally great – with Toots on both harmonica and guitar, usually more of the former ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bobby Timmons —
This Here Is Bobby Timmons ... LP Riverside, 1960. Very Good- ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Fantastic early work from pianist Bobby Timmons – a set that shows all the brilliant young genius that marked his playing at the time! Although only a trio session, the album grooves with the best sort of vibe that you'd find in Bobby's recordings with Art Blakey or Cannonball Adderley ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
