Love & Peace – A Tribute To Horace Silver ... CD Verve, 1995. Used ... Out Of Stock
A modern classic from Dee Dee Bridgewater – one of her hippest albums of the later years, thanks to a great choice of material, and some really wonderful execution!

Till Bronner —
Chattin With Chet ... CD Verve (Japan), 2000. Used ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
One of the first records that really made us sit up and take notice of trumpeter Til Bronner – and one of the first where he really started to find his sense of soul!

Love ... CD Verve/Motor (Germany), 1998. Used ... $5.99
Warm and jazzy tracks – courtesy of German trumpeter Till Bronner, who plays muted trumpet and flugelhorn with really wonderful tone!

Verve (Germany), 2004. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $49.99 58.99
One of our favorite albums ever from German trumpeter Till Bronner – and one of the few to perfectly balance both his vocal and instrumental talents!

Trombone Jazz Samba ... LP Verve, 1962. Very Good Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked gem from Bob Brookmeyer – and a set that fits in strongly with the other Verve Records bossa nova albums of the 60s!

An amazing record – one of the best on Motown's short-lived Workshop Jazz subsidiary!

EmArcy/Verve, 1955. Used ... $5.99
A classic "with strings" session from Clifford Brown – nearly as well-done and perfect as some of Charlie Parker's sides for Verve, handled here with perhaps a slightly sweeter touch, as Neal Hefti's the man on arrangements. The core group's the Brown/Roach combo, augmented by a ... (Jazz) read more CD
