Manny Albam — Soul Of The City ... LP

Solid State, 1966. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

A wonderful little session from Manny Albam – one that continues the strong tradition of larger group jazz arranging he began in the 60s, but which takes it to an even deeper level! Manny composed the entire set as kind of a "city suite" in jazz – one that paints the picture ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers — Three Blind Mice (Solid State pressing) ... LP

Solid State, 1962. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

A really unusual live set from the great Art Blakey – his only album for the United Artists label, but one that continues the tradition of the expanded group style he was starting to use at Blue Note! The lineup here is a sextet, one that's got even more power than the Jazz Messengers as a ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Chick Corea — Now He Sings – Now He Sobs ... LP

Solid State, 1968. Sealed Gatefold ... $29.99

Amazing modern work from the young Chick Corea – a set that captures the pianist in much more avant territory than his famous 70s sets – at a time when he was just coming off some years working in a variety of modes on the New York scene! The group here is as revolutionary as Chick's ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis — Presenting Thad Jones, Mel Lewis & The Jazz Orchestra ... LP

Solid State, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

One of the hippest large American ensembles of the late 60s – almost a US equivalent to the groovy sound of the Clark Boland Big Band over in Europe!

Jimmy McGriff — Step 1 ... LP

Solid State, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

A pretty darn lively session from Jimmy, and one that features a tight combo that includes Larry Frazier on guitar and Fats Theus on tenor.

Jimmy McGriff — Way You Look Tonight (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD

Solid State/Big Pink (South Korea), Late 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 24.99

An obscure set from Hammond genius Jimmy McGriff, but a great one too – nicely different than his earlier work for Sue Records, and done at a level that really shows his growth at the end of the 60s! The record's one of those unusual Sonny Lester productions that seem to open up McGriff's ... (Jazz) read more CD

Jimmy McGriff — Worm ... LP

Solid State, 1968. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Heavy funk from Jimmy McGriff – a monster set of grooves that ranks with his best of the late 60s!

Jimmy McGriff Big Band — Big Band – A Tribute To Basie ... CD

Solid State/Blue Note, 1966. Used ... Out Of Stock

A Basie tribute, but a really smoking one – thanks to some hard swinging arrangements from Manny Albam, and plenty of heavy Hammond from the great Jimmy McGriff! The tracks are mostly numbers from the Count Basie songbook of the 50s and 60s, but they're strongly reworked here with a swinging ... (Jazz) read more CD

United Artists/Solid State, 1959. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Great stuff – recorded in Mingus' classic period!

Modern Jazz Quartet — Modern Jazz Quartet On Tour (aka Patterns) ... LP

Solid State/United Artists, 1960. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Nice moody stuff from the MJQ – featuring a number of longish tracks with kind of a haunting soundtrack quality to them. In fact, most of these cuts (we think) appeared on the soundtrack to the film Odds Against Tomorrow, but are redone here by the band in new versions. Titles include " ...

Jeremy Steig — Legwork ... LP

Solid State, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Out Of Stock

Funky flute work from the great Jeremy Steig! The album's one of his best-ever – and it features the growling "Howling For Judy", a non-stop modal flute number that's been sampled to great fame by the Beastie Boys, and which you'll recognize immediately from the breathy rumbling ...

Solid State (Japan), 1967. Used ... Out Of Stock

Pure greatness from Jeremy Steig – an album of funky flute tracks that really opened up whole new possibilities for the instrument!
