Back To Rhythm ... CD Sony/Mr Bongo (UK), 1975. New Copy ... $6.99 11.98
Heavy funk from a hip Japanese combo – one that features lots of drums and percussion from leader Akira Ishikawa, plus plenty of guitar, keyboards, and hard-riffing horns! Akira's taking most of his cues here from American funk of the early 70s – work by Incredible Bongo Band, BT ... read more CD
Sun Ra —
Of Abstract Dreams ... CD Strut (UK), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $13.99 15.98
A fantastic album from Sun Ra and the Arkestra – one that we'd rank right up there with our favorites on the Saturn Records label!

Miles Davis —
Kind Of Blue (mono) ... LP Columbia, 1959. New Copy (reissue)... $24.99 25.98
What can we say? This is the ultimate Miles Davis album – the one that includes so many songs that we've heard way too much in Starbucks, in retail stores, or at a friend's house who claims to be a "jazz expert", but is really a yuppie dilettante. Yet somehow, over all the years, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bill Doggett —
Dance Awhile ... LP King, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A King Records classic from the Bill Doggett combo – and a set that's as great for mellow stepping as it is for upbeat grooving!

(Appears to be an 80s pressing.)
Dave Holland Quintet —
Seeds Of Time ... CD ECM, 1985. Used ... $8.99
A really great album as a leader from bassist Dave Holland – a musician who was really coming into his own at this point in his career, and using all the talents he'd developed in looser settings to help bring new focus to a group! The lineup here is exceptionally strong, and a really great ... read more CD

Roland Kirk —
Domino (with bonus tracks) ... CD Mercury (Japan), Early 60s. Used ... $4.99
A key early album from reedman Roland Kirk – at set that really has him strongly finding his voice in jazz, and transforming most of modern music in the process! The set's a perfect illustration of the way that Roland could swing with soul, yet still reach out with bold new ideas too – ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Rodney Jones —
When You Feel The Love ... CD Impulse/MCA, 1981. Used ... $11.99
A different album than some of guitarist Rodney Jones' more spiritual work – maybe a bit more spacious and sensitive overall, in a style that shows off a whole new side of his sound! Rodney plays both 6 and 12 string guitars – and the session features a fair bit of keyboards from Kenny ... read more CD
(Out of print, small cutout notch through booklet.)
Lester Young —
Jazz Giants ... CD Verve, 1956. Used ... $2.99
A beautiful session from the mid 50s, and on that's very much in the classic imprint of the Verve label. Norman Granz pulls together some of the bigger post-swing players of the day – like Young, Eldridge, Freddie Green, Jo Jones, Teddy Wilson, and others – and has them run through ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Tomasz Stanko —
Soul Of Things ... CD ECM/Universal, 2002. Used ... $9.99
A great little set from Polish trumpeter Tomasz Stanko – less electronic and processed than some of his recent work, a fairly straightforward affair played by a simple piano, bass, drums, trumpet quartet lineup. As always, Stanko's solo work is moody and atmospheric – but it's touched ... read more CD
Brecker Brothers —
Heavy Metal Be Bop ... CD One Way/Arista, 1978. Used ... $8.99
No heavy metal here – just tight and funky jamming from the mighty Brecker Brothers! There's a bit more guitar here than on some of their other records – hence, possibly, the title – but the whole thing's still very much in that mix of soulful fusion and jazzy soloing that the ... read more CD

Joe Cain —
Great Hits Of The 60s ... LP Time, Early 60s. Very Good+ ... $9.99
A gem of a record from Joe Cain – a fantastic arranger who's never gotten his due! The overall approach is what you'd expect from the title – a batch of 60s hits, done in easy instrumental versions – but Joe's style of bringing the instruments together makes for some real magic ...

Thad Jones & Mel Lewis —
Presenting Thad Jones, Mel Lewis & The Jazz Orchestra ... LP Solid State, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $5.99
One of the hippest large American ensembles of the late 60s – almost a US equivalent to the groovy sound of the Clark Boland Big Band over in Europe! Trumpeter Thad Jones and drummer Mel Lewis had already made some great music together on their own – but once they came together in a ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cut corner and some light aging inside the gatefold.)
John Blair —
We Belong Together ... LP CTI, 1977. Very Good+ ... $3.99
A strange bit of soul from the later years of CTI – and one of the few albums we've ever seen from the enigmatic John Blair! Blair is an artist with a bit of a cosmic vibe – kind of a spacey sense of soul that maybe fits his appearance on the cover – and which is couched here in ...

(In the textured cover, with a light stain along the spine, a sticker spot, and some light wear.)
Buddy Rich —
Big Swing Face ... LP Pacific Jazz, Late 60s. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $2.99
Although Buddy's always been a bit laughable, he was always trying to keep his bag moving, and his band of the late 60s included some pretty darn nice players. The group on this session includes Ernie Watts and Bobby Shew, and the band wails hard and fast in a live setting with lots of tight ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear.)
Gene Ammons/Chess, Late 40s/Mid 70s. Very Good+ ... $4.99
A great set that brings together some great lost material that was originally recorded for Chess (or Aristocrat as it was called back then), and which was only ever released on 78s. Gene Ammons plays here with the lost Chicago tenor talent Tom Archia (who never made it out of the city as much as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has splitting on the spine and light surface wear.)
Weather Report —
Heavy Weather ... LP CBS, 1977. Very Good+ ... $4.99
One of the biggest hits ever for Weather Report – thanks to Joe Zawinul's leadoff track "Birdland" – one of those tunes that entered the canon immediately, and saw countless covers pop up over the years – kind of a rare thing for a jazz tune at this point in time! The ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some light wear.)
Gary Burton —
Throb ... LP Atlantic, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $5.99
A very groovy record from vibes legend Gary Burton – a set that was done for Atlantic Records right after Gary's big rise to genius on RCA – but with a feel that's even wilder than those wonderful records! There's a bit of the Vortex Records approach going on here – some slight ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, with a spot of tape on the spine.)
Jimmy Smith —
Lonesome Road ... CD Blue Note (Japan), 1957/1997. Used ... Just Sold Out!

Sonny Clark —
Sonny Clark Trio (Blue Note) ... CD Blue Note, Late 50s. Used ... Just Sold Out!
Sublime trio material from Sonny – recorded with Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums, and a crackling full-on approach that makes the album one of the best straight trio sessions ever cut for Blue Note! Tracks are longish, with a very hardbop groove – complicated in ... read more CD
Also available Sonny Clark Trio (Blue Note RVG pressing) ... CD 6.99(Out of print.)
Ben Branch & The Operation Breadbasket Orchestra —
Last Request (portrait cover) ... LP Chess, 1968. Very Good+ ... $2.99
A very hip album that mixes gospel and jazz – recorded in 1968 as a tribute to Martin Luther King, but a set that more than stands on its own – at a level that's way different than the usual King tribute records! The album was put together by Jesse Jackson's Operation Breadbasket ... (Soul, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

... CD
Gene Ammons —
Boss Tenor ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1960. Used ... $6.99
A soul jazz classic from Gene Ammons – the kind of session that easy made him "boss" on tenor – with a tone and conception that few other players could touch! The set is done in a style that's laidback, but never too loose – bouncing along in that "with conga" ... read more CD
Miles Davis —
Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1957. Used ... $1.99
A seminal session from the team of Miles Davis & John Coltrane – not nearly as "cookin" (at least in a blowing session way) as you might guess from the title, but instead a beautiful example of the lyrically modern explorations the pair created together! Rhythm is by the trio ... read more CD
Also available Cookin' With The Miles Davis Quintet (Japanese paper sleeve edition) ... CD 19.99(Out of print.)
Miles Davis —
Relaxin' With The Miles Davis Quintet ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... $4.99

(Out of print.)
Miles Davis —
Steamin' With The Miles Davis Quintet ... CD Prestige/OJC, 1956. Used ... $3.99
An early pairing of Miles Davis & John Coltrane – one of the duo's mid 50s classics for Prestige, as you might guess from the verb in the title! And although "Steamin" might be a word that's a bit too firey to describe the action going on here, the album's got a tremendous ... read more CD
Stan Getz/Sony, 1975. Used ... $6.99
A real standout in the Stan Getz catalog of the 70s – a session of mostly spare duets with pianist Jimmy Rowles, done in a way that really breaks from the format of Stan's other work of the time! Rowles here has a raspy warmth that brings out new voicings in Getz's tenor – an ... read more CD
(Out of print 1994 Columbia Jazz Masterpieces pressing. Punch through barcode.)
Carmen McRae —
Great American Songbook – Recorded Live At Donte's ... LP Atlantic, 1971. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $3.99
The title sounds a bit ambitious, but the album's actually a great intimate date from Carmen McRae – a beautifully-recorded small combo performance – caught live at Donte's in LA, with a sound that hearkens back to some of Carmen's best work of the 50s! The format is spare and simple ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
McCoy Tyner (with Phyllis Hyman) —
Looking Out ... LP Columbia, 1982. Very Good+ ... $2.99
An 80s album by McCoy Tyner, but easily one of his most soulful sessions ever – thanks to help from Phyllis Hyman and a host of great guest stars! The sound's a bit more tightly arranged than some of Tyner's 70s sessions, but there's still plenty of fire here too – a bit of a Latin ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear, a promo stamp, and a sticker remnant.)
Frank Walton —
Reality ... LP Delmark, Late 70s. Very Good+ ... $6.99
One of the few records ever from Chicago trumpeter Frank Walton – and a sweet-stepping bit of soul jazz with some nice funky undercurrents! The group's mostly acoustic, but has a bit of electricity in the keyboards and bass – making for a few tracks that emerge with rounded and warm ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Promo. Cover has wear, a promo stamp, and some aging.)
Eddie Harris —
Exciting Eddie Harris ... LP Kent, Early 60s. Very Good+ 2LP ... $6.99
2LP set that brings together a load of Eddie's great recordings for the Vee Jay label – cut back in the days when he was a real soul jazz experimentalist, with an incredible knack for mixing styles. Tracks include the incredible "Oliphant Gesang", a wild number that's part Yusef ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Gene Ammons —
Bad Bossa Nova (aka Jungle Soul) ... LP Prestige, 1964. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
Bad Bossa Nova is right – as Gene Ammons really hits a great groove here – one that's not exactly bossa, but which has lots of Latin and tropical touches! The session makes great use of 2 guitars at the same time – using that of Kenny Burrell for soulful rhythm, but also adding ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Yellow and black label pressing, with deep groove and Van Gelder stamp. Cover has some discoloration from age, small piece of tape on the spien, and a Preview Copy stamp and some marker on back.)
Wayne Shorter —
Soothsayer ... LP Blue Note, 1965/1979. Very Good+ ... Just Sold Out!
A great Wayne Shorter session from the mid 60s – recorded then, but not issued until 1979, for some incredibly unexplained reason – especially given the strength of the set! The group is distinctly modern, and features Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, James Spaulding on alto, and McCoy ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Original US pressing. Cover has light splash stains.)
Eddie Harris —
I'm Tired Of Driving ... LP RCA, 1978. Very Good+ ... $6.99
Less of a jazz album than some of Eddie's other records – but that's ok with us!

(Cover has a spot of sticker residue.)
Paul Desmond —
Bridge Over Troubled Water ... LP A&M, 1969. Very Good+ Gatefold ... $9.99
Paul Desmond serves up his own versions of some key tunes by Simon & Garfunkel tunes – with results that are simply amazing!

Frank Foster —
Basie Is Our Boss ... LP Argo, 1963. Near Mint- ... $16.99
Basie may be his boss, but Frank Foster's definitely his own man – especially working here on this hip little session for Chess Records – a small group date with some key members of the Count's ensemble!

Roland Kirk —
Third Dimension ... CD Bethlehem (Japan), 1956. Used ... $8.99

Roland Kirk —
Volunteered Slavery ... CD Atlantic/Rhino, 1969. Used ... $4.99

Sonny Stitt —
Stitt Plays Bird ... LP Atlantic, 1963. Near Mint- ... $14.99

Sweet electric keys from the great Richard Tee – issued on Bob James' classic Tappan Zee imprint!

This album, one of his ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Mitchell —
Vital Blue ... LP Mainstream, Early 70s. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $19.99
One of the more obscure Blue Mitchell albums of the 70s – and one of the most far-reaching too!

I'm Coming Home Again ... LP Buddah, 1978. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold ... $6.99

Clark Terry —
Serenade To A Bus Seat ... LP Riverside, 1957. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
A great early date as a leader from trumpeter Clark Terry – one cut during the stretch when he was keeping company with players like Thelonious Monk and Johnny Griffin!
