Roy Campbell —
Akhenaten Suite – Live At Vision Festival XII ... CD 
Aum Fidelity, 2007. Used ... $7.99
A beautiful live set from trumpeter Roy Campbell – a piece of music that's every bit as majestic as its title, and handled by Roy in a wonderfully spiritual way! The album's a real high point – not just in Campbell's career, but in that of the associated group members too – ... read more CD

Gary Bartz —
Libra ... LP 
Milestone, 1967. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Fantastic early work from Gary Bartz – and probably his rarest record ever! The album was cut at a time when the young Bartz was first coming to prominence in the hip late 60s soul jazz group of Max Roach – and Bartz's playing at the time is a perfect model of mid-Coltrane searching ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sarah Vaughan —
Sassy ... LP EmArcy, 1956. Very Good+ ... $19.99
One of Vaughan's nice jazz sides from the 50s on EmArcy, but cut with slightly larger backing, almost in the vein of some here concurrent pop oriented work at the Mercury parent label during the same time. Arrangements are by Hal Mooney, and Vaughan takes an approach that showcases how she ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Sheila Jordan —
Portrait Of Sheila ... LP Blue Note, 1962. Very Good+ ... $249.99

Sonny Rollins —
Sonny Boy ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... $11.99
Frenetic bop work from Sonny Rollins – recorded in 1956 with an open-mouthed tone that's certainly less controlled than later years, but still no less compelling! Sonny races along some of these tracks like a train out of control – especially on "B Quick" and "B ... read more CD
Ronnell Bright —
Bright Flight ... LP Vanguard, Late 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of the few albums as a leader from pianist Ronnell Bright – recorded with Joe Benjamin on bass and Bill Clark on drums – with compelling tunes that include "Randall's Island", "Bohemia USA", and "Toasted Ammond". LP, Vinyl record album

Karl Berger —
We Are You (Japanese pressing) ... LP Calig/Trio (Japan), 1971. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Seminal work from vibist Karl Berger – recorded in the early 70s, when his modern approach to the vibes was still one of the freshest on the instrument, and when it sounded a lot more inventive than it did on later albums. The tracks are relatively avant, but not without a fair bit of ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Wayne Shorter —
Introducing Wayne Shorter ... CD Vee Jay/Koch, 1959. Used ... $5.99
The birth of a genius! From the vantage point of the 21st century,Wayne Shorter hardly needs any introduction – but when he recorded this debut album in the late 50s, Shorter was just the new kid on the block – making a few important waves as the tenor star in Art Blakey's Jazz ... read more CD

Frank Strozier —
What's Goin On ... CD Steeplechase (Denmark), 1977. Used ... Just Sold Out!
As a rule, we shouldn't like sessions that have a Marvin Gaye tune as the title – but in this case, we'll make an exception! The album's great one – filled with warmth, fire, and imagination – and key proof that Frank Strozier was still going strong in the 70s – after some ... read more CD

Thelonious Monk —
Thelonius Himself (Japanese pressing) ... CD Riverside (Japan), 1957. Used ... $6.99
A classic outing of solo piano by Thelonious Monk – a format that wasn't used often, but which always made for some really compelling work! Monk in this mode is often different than the bolder leader of a trio or larger group – and there's a more introspective quality to the record ... read more CD

Sun Ra —
Super-Sonic Jazz ... CD Saturn/Evidence, 1956. Used ... $8.99
The first album on Saturn!

Lee Morgan —
Lee Morgan All-Star Sextet (aka The Procrastinator) ... LP Blue Note (Japan), 1967. Used ... Just Sold Out!
An amazing set by Lee Morgan – and one that was recorded in the 60s, but not issued until many years later!

Billy Taylor —
Taylor Made Piano ... LP Roost, Early 50s. Very Good+ ... $29.99

Horace Silver —
Silver's Serenade ... LP Blue Note, 1963. Very Good+ ... $24.99

Bobby Hutcherson —
Montara ... LP Blue Note, 1975. Used ... Just Sold Out!
One of our favorite Bobby Hutcherson albums ever – and a magical session filled with electric Latin vibes!

Modern Jazz Disciples —
Right Down Front ... LP New Jazz, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $39.99

It's A World Before You ... LP First Word (UK), 2018. New Copy 2LP ... $22.99

Mammal Hands —
Shadow Work ... LP Gondwana (UK), 2018. New Copy 2LP ... $24.99

Also available Shadow Work ... CD 9.99
Dwight Trible with Matthew Halsall —
Inspirations ... LP Gondwana (UK), 2017. New Copy 2LP ... $24.99
