Mark Murphy —
Rah ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock
Great early work by Mark Murphy – a set that's different than the cool breeziness of his 70s work, and done with an approach that's a lot hipper than most of his 60s contemporaries! Ernie Wilkins handles the arrangements, and there's a rollicking soul jazz groove here that's a bit unusual ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Johnny Pace —
Chet Baker Introduces Johnny Pace ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1958. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Given that Chet Baker's a singer himself, it's a bit surprising that he's working here with another vocalist – but that oddity aside, the album's a great little session that's got an intimate feel that's a bit different than Baker's own vocal work! Pace's voice is much fuller and richer than ... (Vocalists) read more CD
Riverside, 1961. Used ... $14.99
Early work by Dave Pike – one of his first albums ever, recorded with an all-star lineup that includes Barry Harris on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. Pike's got less of the groovy and fuzzed-out sound of his later work – but even at this young age, he's a ... (Jazz) read more CD

Billie Poole —
Confessin' The Blues ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1962. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
The title's an apt one, because Billie Poole sings here in a mode that's steeped in styles borrowed strongly from gospel and blues – but delivered more in a jazz-based mode overall! The backing here is one aspect that makes the record especially strong – a quartet with Kenny Burrell on ... (Vocalists) read more CD
Sonny Rollins —
Sound Of Sonny ... CD Riverside/OJC, 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 —
Outer View ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1962. Used ... Out Of Stock
George Russell was always committed to exploring new territory – as he proves well on this hard to find album cut for Riverside during the early 60s! Russell's surrounded himself here with some great younger and lesser-known players – including trumpeter Don Ellis, trombonist Garnett ... (Jazz) read more CD
Mongo Santamaria —
Explosion ... LP Riverside, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Great stuff by Mongo – originally issued under another name during the early 60s, but presented here with a new cover in this late 60s reissue. The tracks are all hard, short, and jazzy – with that solid groove that Mongo brought to Latin music during the 60s. Players include Hubert ... (Latin) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Riverside, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $14.99
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

Billy Taylor —
Uptown ... CD Riverside, 1960. Used ... $12.99
A pretty great trio date from Billy Taylor – and somewhat overlooked, too! The group features Henry Grimes on bass and Ray Mosca on drums – and the set captures Billy in a perfect spot between his early work for Prestige, and some of his 60s mainstream material – heard here in a ...

Clark Terry —
Serenade To A Bus Seat ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1957. Used ... Out Of Stock
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, 1960. Used ... $11.99
Clark Terry's breezy trumpet is paired with Don Butterfield's tuba for a real "top and bottom" session of brassy jazz.

Teri Thornton —
Devil May Care ... CD Riverside, 1961. Used ... Out Of Stock
One of the best albums from singer Teri Thornton – a jazz vocalist who was really starting to come into her own at the beginning of the 60s, and shines here in a way that's different from some of her bigger label sets! Backings are by Norman Simmons – a pianist we love on his own, and ... (Vocalists) read more CD

Bobby Timmons at the height of his powers – recorded live at the Village Vanguard, with a trio that includes Ron Carter on bass and Albert Heath on drums! The tracks are a bit longer than on some of Bobby's trio studio sides for Riverside – nicely swinging, with some killer piano work ... (Jazz) read more CD
Riverside/OJC, 1960. Used ... $13.99
A real standout set from Bobby Timmons – one of his few non-trio sessions as a leader, and a record that crackles with the same sort of energy he brought to his work with the Jazz Messengers! Of course, that's no surprise – as the quartet on the set includes Bobby's boss at the time, ... (Jazz) read more CD

Fantastic early work from pianist Bobby Timmons – a set that shows all the brilliant young genius that marked his playing at the time!

Riverside/OJC, 1963. Used ... $4.99
An unusual early album by Joe Zawinul – one cut at the start of his early fame with Cannonball Adderley (and years before his success in Weather Report) – but in an easygoing way that's a perfect setting for the aging Ben Webster! Joe's not funking things up the way he did with Cannon, ... (Jazz) read more CD

Riverside/OJC, 1955. Used ... $6.99
An early full length album by Randy Weston – one that mostly features tunes by other composers, all given a slightly modern twist at the piano! The style here isn't as arch-modern or African-inspired as some of Weston's other 50s work – but it's still plenty darn great, and very much ... (Jazz) read more CD

Riverside, 1960. Used ... $14.99
One of the rarest albums by this great Texas tenor player – and the kind of album we're very happy to see reissued!
