Verve (Japan), 1955. New Copy ... $13.99 About November 25, 2021
A great one from Buddy DeFranco – exactly the kind of record that will make you understand why jazz collectors have always prized his Verve Records work so much! Although Buddy's given instrument, the clarinet, was one that was handled by so many others at the time in kind of an outmoded way ... (Jazz) read more CD
Verve (Japan), 1954. New Copy ... $13.99 About November 25, 2021
The album may be laidback, but it's hardly mellow at all – thanks to the presence of Sonny Clark on piano! The session's one of those great 50s pairings of Clark's piano and the clarinet of Buddy DeFranco – proof not only that Buddy could sound pretty darn soulful when he wanted, but ...

Verve (Japan), 1953/1954. New Copy ... $13.99 About November 25, 2021
The jazz tones here are mighty nice – on a record that sparkles with some of Buddy DeFranco's best music ever! As with other Verve dates from the time, this DeFranco outing's got a rhythmic pulse that really gets things going – a sense of swing that's nice and lean, but quite powerful ... (Jazz) read more CD
Verve (Japan), 1954. New Copy ... $13.99 About November 25, 2021
Sweet and lovely – but plenty darn soulful too – and one of the excellent early 50s Verve dates that features the piano of Sonny Clark with the clarinet of Buddy DeFranco! The album's got an even more unusual twist in that it features a bit of organ from Clark too – one of his ... (Jazz) read more CD
MGM/Verve (Japan), Early 50s. Near Mint- ... $14.99
A very cool Japanese-only album – one that brings together two rare 10" releases by these modern jazz giants of the clarinet! Side one features Buddy DeFranco with some larger backings, but a core group that also features Kenny Drew on piano, Art Blakey on drums, and Sabu Martinez on ...

Verve (Japan), 1956. New Copy ... $13.99 About November 25, 2021
Easy-going Verve swing at its best – the kind of small group session that let a player like Harry "Sweets" Edison shine in a way that he didn't always get to do in a larger group! For this set, Edison's joined by Ben Webster on tenor sax, Barney Kessel on guitar, Jimmy Rowles on ... (Jazz) read more CD

Back To Back ... CD Verve, 1959. Used ... Out Of Stock
Duke Ellington makes a rare Verve appearance on this classic album – and works strongly in the mode of earlier sides recorded for the label by Johnny Hodges! There's a relaxed, small group feel going on here – one that's a bit different than some of the tighter Ellington work on ... (Jazz) read more CD

Verve, 1959. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold ... $11.99
A great little album that builds on the strength of Johnny Hodges' small group 50s sessions for Verve – and which lets Duke Ellington in on some of the action! The format is nicely stripped-down throughout – featuring Hodges in sextet and septet formation with players that include Ben ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Verve, 1960. Very Good ... $29.99
Herb Ellis pays homage to one of the first great jazz guitarists – the legendary Charlie Christian, certainly one of the first true soulful talents to emerge on the instrument!

Alone (plus bonus tracks) ... CD Verve, 1968. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
Solo work by Bill Evans – recorded in 1968, at a time when he was increasingly exploring gentleness in his work! The album's quite haunting – done with no other musicians, no overdubs (as in other solo 60s albums) – just Evans alone at the keys, expressing himself with a somber ... (Jazz) read more CD

Bill Evans' first famous appearance at the Montreux Jazz Festival – a great 60s trio session, with Eddie Gomez on bass and Jack DeJohnette on drums!

Bill Evans meets Bill Evans – in a uniquely-styled session that features overdubbed solo lines from Bill, creating a multi-piano sound that's really great!
