Art Blakey —
Oh By The Way ... CD 
Timeless (Holland), 1982. Used ... $13.99
A casual title, but a hell of a cooker from the legendary Art Blakey – one of those great albums from his overlooked run during the 80s – a time when he still had plenty of fire, and the same continuing dedication to the best young players around as he did during the Blue Note years of ... read more CD

One For All (Eric Alexander, Jim Rotondi, et al) —
End Of A Love Affair ... CD Venus (Japan), 2001. Used ... $16.99
There's no end to our love affair with this great group – one of the most rock-solid lineups of the past decade or so, thanks to tight work from some players who clearly love working with each other! The mighty Eric Alexander is in the frontline on tenor sax – as are Jim Rotondi on ... read more CD

Pat Metheny —
Travels ... CD ECM, 1982. Used 2 CDs ... $12.99
A live album, but every bit as seminal as the studio sides that Pat Metheny cut for ECM at the time – and proof that the Metheny magic was clearly his own, and not just a product of studio tricks by Manfred Eicher! The set reprises tunes and themes from a variety of Metheny's earlier ECM ... read more CD

(Barcode has a cutout hole.)
John Rae —
Opus De Jazz Vol 2 ... CD Savoy (Japan), 1960. Used ... $12.99
A great lost side from Savoy Jazz – not to be confused with Opus De Jazz Vol 1, the more famous album by Milt Jackson. Like that one, though, this set features a vibist in the lead – John Rae, a strong player who only recorded a few albums, most notably with Herbie Mann. The groove's ... read more CD

Max Roach —
In The Light ... CD Soul Note (Italy), 1983. Used ... $4.99
Max Roach continues the fine line of work with his fresh-voiced quartet of the early 80s – a very hip group that features a young Odeon Pope on tenor, plus Cecil Bridgewater on trumpet and Calvin Hill on bass! The work's similar to Roach's quartet sessions of the late 70s, although perhaps a ... read more CD

Art Pepper —
Thursday Night At The Village Vanguard Vol 1 ... CD Contemporary/OJC, 1977. Used ... $4.99
A rather late recording for Pepper, but a great one played with some fierceness that you might not expect from the date of the recording. It helps that he's accompanied by a remarkable rhythm section of George Cables, George Mraz and Elvin Jones, all seasoned vets by this point, and playing with ... read more CD
Cannonball Adderley —
Things Are Getting Better ... CD Riverside/OJC, 1958. Used ... $4.99
An album that definitely lives up to its title – given the great change and evolution in the style of Cannonball Adderley's music – definitely pointed towards the soul jazz fame to come in the 60s! The group here has Adderley's alto in the company of some all-stars who may not be his ... read more CD
(Out of print. Tray card has a bit of highlighter.)
Keith Jarrett —
Treasure Island ... CD Impulse/MCA, 1974. Used ... $5.99
Ultra-hip work from pianist Keith Jarrett – a session that's filled with joy and life, and which has a lot more energy than some of his albums for ECM! The work here is kind of a refinement of the freer styles that Jarrett had laid down on previous albums – performed with a strongly ... read more CD
(Out of print.)
Blue Mitchell —
Thing To Do (RVG edition) ... CD Blue Note, 1964. Used ... $8.99
The thing to do – is jam! Blue's sounding wonderful in this classic set for Blue Note – one of his best small group albums – recorded with a sound that's solidly in keeping with his lyrically melodic work in the Horace Silver group! The quintet features Chick Corea on piano ... read more CD

John Coltrane —
1961 Helsinki Concert ... CD Gambit (Spain), 1960/1961. Used ... $12.99
A previously unreleased live date from The Great One – recorded in Helsinki in 1961, with some great work by Eric Dolphy on flute and alto sax! The format here is similar to other great Coltrane live dates from early 60s Europe – tunes that start out with a similar groove to their ... read more CD

Hank Mobley —
Soul Station (RVG remaster edition) ... CD Blue Note, 1960. Used ... $4.99
Simply astounding! Soul Station is a deceptively simple album that has tenor giant Hank Mobley playing standards and originals in a quartet with Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Art Blakey on drums– a spare and simple group, but one with a direct energy that's really amazing ... read more CD

Charles Earland —
Front Burner ... CD Milestone, 1988. Used ... $6.99
A wonderfully grooving late 80s set from Earland, with a great cast of supporting players, though their names may not be as well known as some of the heavies on his other records, the group has a wonderful vibe throughout the side. Ignore the couple of tracks that this record (and all of his ... read more CD

Steve Grossman —
Standards ... CD DIW (Japan), 1985. Used ... $9.99
Tenorist Steve Grossman's a hell of a player in so many different settings – but we're especially fond of the mid 80s stretch in which he made this record – a time when Steve had learned from all of his bolder, more dynamic moments of the 70s – and was able to fold them back into ... read more CD
(Out of print. Back cover of booklet and rear tray card have a bit of pen.)
Crusaders —
2nd Crusade ... LP 
Blue Thumb/Chisa, 1973. Very Good+ 2LP ... $4.99
An early 70s classic from The Crusaders – and a record that has the group perfectly poised between the rougher soul jazz of their roots and some of the tighter styles they brought into play during the 70s! The sound here is heavily electric – thanks to great keyboards from Joe Sample ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has light wear and a small stain.)
Airto —
Identity ... LP Arista, 1975. Near Mint- ... $9.99
A soaring set of grooves from one of the world's greatest percussionists – a standout set as a leader from Airto, and a key set in his wonderful run of work from the 70s! The album's still got the loose, free feel of Airto's earliest work, and isn't nearly as crossover-oriented as some of ... (Brazil, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has a cutout notch, light wear, and a sticker spot.)
Johnny Hartman —
Voice That Is ... LP Impulse, 1964. Near Mint- Gatefold ... $44.99
At the time of this album, Johnny Hartman definitely was the voice that is – a singer with a new level of maturity for the 60s, and a voice that's far more masculine than the geeky look of the photo on the cover! Hartman's sound here is smooth and warm, but never in a too-commercial way ... (Vocalists, Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Bill Evans —
Quintessence ... CD Fantasy, 1977. Used ... $4.99
70s work from Evans, caught not in his typical solo or trio setting, but in an all star quintet that recalls his excellent Interplay sides.

Lowell Davidson Trio ... CD ESP, 1965. Used ... $8.99
One of the most obscure 60s jazz sessions on ESP – a really free outing from pianist Lowell Davidson, working here in a trio that includes Gary Peacock on bass and Milford Graves on drums!

Cool, Calm & Collected – The Unreleased Frank Strozier ... CD Vee Jay, 1960. Used ... $4.99
The incredible second album from saxophonist Frank Strozier – recorded for Vee Jay records after his initial debut, but for some reason never issued at the time!

Jimmy Smith —
Crazy! Baby ... CD Blue Note, 1960. Used ... $7.99

John Coltrane —
Transition ... CD Impulse, 1965. Used ... $9.99
There's no sense of "transition" here – as the album's an incredibly solid one, and stands with John Coltrane's best mid 60s work for Impulse – even if the session wasn't issued by the label until after his early death! The work builds strongly on the Love Supreme vibe – ... read more CD

Hank Crawford —
More Soul ... LP Atlantic, 1960. Very Good ... $7.99
Given Hank Crawford's soulful legacy on the alto sax – one that already made him a star in Ray Charles group by the time of this LP – it would be hard to add More Soul to his bag – but that's what he's going for here, and we've gotta say that it works pretty darn well!

Earl Klugh's second album for Blue Note – and like the first, a nicely stripped-down album that we like a lot better than his later work!

Yusef Lateef —
Autophysiopsychic ... LP CTI, 1977. Very Good Gatefold ... $5.99

Early greatness from Wes Montgomery – and a session that's got a gritty edge that takes Wes back to his Indianapolis roots!

Tom Browne —
Browne Sugar ... LP GRP, 1979. Very Good Gatefold ... $4.99
Smooth funky jazz from Tom Browne – caught here during his best early years!

Johnny Hodges —
Don't Sleep In The Subway ... LP Verve, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold ... Just Sold Out!

David Murray Quartet —
Morning Song ... LP Black Saint (Italy), 1984. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
One of David Murray's straighter sides from the early 80s – and exactly the kind of record to prove to the world that he could be a strong tenor traditionalist while still bringing an inventive sound to play!
