Gloomy Sunday & Other Bright Moments ... LP Verve, 1961. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Out Of Stock
An overlooked treat recorded at a time when Verve was briefly exploring the jazz orchestra format in the early 60s – through recordings by Stan Getz, Jimmy Guiffre, and here, Bob Brookmeyer.

Trombone Jazz Samba ... LP Verve, 1962. Very Good+ Gatefold ... Temporarily 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! Bob's the center star on valve trombone, but the record's awash in work from other great Verve talents too – a tight small group that features Gary ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Workshop Jazz/Verve, 1964. New Copy (reissue)... $18.99 29.99
An amazing record – one of the best on Motown's short-lived Workshop Jazz subsidiary!

Clifford Brown With Strings ... CD EmArcy/Verve, 1955. Used ... Out Of Stock
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

Gettin' Down To It ... CD King/Verve, 1969. Used ... Out Of Stock
A great little album by James Brown – and very different than his other work! He cut this one with the groovy Dee Felice Trio – a jazz-based combo that he recorded on their own for King, on another very rare, very excellent record. The band's in similar form here, although not ... (Soul) read more CD

Overlooked genius from pianist Dave Burrell – an artist whose talents never cease to amaze us!
