Cannonball Adderley & Ray Brown —
Two For The Blues (aka Ray Brown With The All-Star Big Band) ... LP 
Verve, 1962. Very Good ... Temporarily Out Of Stock
A standout session from bassist Ray Brown – one of a few 60s big band sessions recorded for Verve, featuring some searing solo work from Cannonball Adderley! Brown's name as a leader is possibly more as a compadre than the main driving force of the record – as the arrangements here are ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

A studio album, but one that really has Gene Ammons and Sonny Stitt recreating some of the bold energy of their live shows – coming across with a vibe that's much more Prestige Records than Verve, thanks to the presence of the Don Patterson trio on the set!

Mid 60s concept pop from Appletree Theatre – a mix of unpredictable baroque pop, soaring string laden tunes, and more stripped down and moody numbers – and programmed as acts, in keeping with the theatre mode!

A beautiful live set from 1972 – and a very unique album from Roy Ayers' Polydor years!
