Joan Baez ... LP Vanguard, 1960. Very Good- ... $0.99
One of the most essential debut albums of the 60s folk revival, and the early 60s in general – the great first album from Joan Baez on the Vanguard label – a masterpiece of emotional interpretation and impeccable folk guitar playing!

Fantasias For Guitar & Banjo ... LP Vanguard, 1963. Very Good ... Out Of Stock
Mindblowing minimalism from the legendary Sandy Bull – an artist who might have had acoustic roots in folk music, but who was instantly turning his music into something else – drawing on modal styles of Eastern music, European generations of expression on guitar, jazz-based ...

Vanguard, 1971. Very Good+ ... $14.99
One of the most stripped-down records from the early years of Larry Coryell – but one of the most powerful, too – as the record sometimes has Larry singing along with his guitar, in an effortless blend of trippy rock and jazz! The date's a live one – and the trio features Marvin ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Vanguard/Wounded Bird, Late 60s. New Copy ... $10.99 14.99
Early work from guitar genius Larry Coryell – and a set that's maybe not as basic as you'd guess from the title!

Vanguard/Universe (Italy), 1969. Used Gatefold ... $24.99
Maybe the funkiest album that guitarist Larry Coryell ever cut – his debut as a leader, and a fuzzy, freaky set that features some massively heavy drums from the great Bernard Purdie! The set's jazz at the core, but has lots of rock elements too – including vocals from Coryell on a few ... (Jazz) read more CD

Vanguard/Wounded Bird, 1972. New Copy ... $10.99 14.98
A fantastic record from guitarist Larry Coryell – one that maybe has him shedding some of the more rockish tendencies of his roots, while finding the way forward in a searing, searching style of funky jazz! There's almost a Flying Dutchman sort of righteousness to the record – as Larry ... (Jazz) read more CD
Larry Coryell —
Planet End ... LP Vanguard, 1975. Very Good+ ... $9.99
An interesting set from Coryell, one that seems to be a contract closer in all but the playing, as it was his last at Vnguard. The set consists of two different sessions, with some material recorded by The Eleventh House, very much in the bag of their other recordings, with nice funky riffing and ...

Larry Coryell tries out his vocal chops a bit on this album with his classic group from the early 70s – but the main "voice" on the record is still his wonderfully tight guitar – which has a beautifully sharp sound throughout! When Coryell sings, he almost seems to be doing ... (Jazz) read more CD

A great entry in the ever-diverse catalog of guitarist Larry Coryell in the 70s – a set that has him both returning to Vanguard Records, and to more electric modes than on a few previous records – and also working with the sons of Dave Brubeck in a nicely tight mode!

A seminal set from Country Joe & The Fish – one of those albums that brought the new psychedelic sound strongly into the mainstream – but all without softening up or commercializing it at all!

We love our Buddy Guy here in Chicago – and this set cut for Vanguard, one of his first full solo albums with his own band will always be a favorite!

The mighty drummer Elvin Jones is working here with a very hip group – in a mode that's maybe a nice extension of his Blue Note material at the start of the 70s, in a style that shows that he definitely still has all of his groove!
