Sonny Stitt – Blows The Blues – Acoustic Sounds 180g Vinyl LP

£35.00
Sonny Stitt led a number of excellent record dates in 1959, especially at the end of the year when he produced three LPs for Verve over a span of three sessions with pianist Lou Levy, bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Mel Lewis. Playing alto sax throughout this album, Stitt hardly sounds like a Charlie Parker clone, something that unfortunately was a frequent claim by tin-eared critics throughout a fair portion of his career. The music includes several potent originals, especially “Hymnal Blues” and the slow, powerful “Morning After Blues.” Originally released in 1970.

The Ornette Coleman Double Quartet: Free Jazz Speakers Corner 180g Vinyl

£35.00
The term ‘free jazz’ was already in existence – but it had a quite different meaning, namely jazz without paying for an entrance ticket. The album “Free Jazz”, however, was intended to lend its name to a quite different style of jazz. ‘Free’ playing – now this meant that no one was bound to conventions, you could let your imagination run loose. Free jazz gave one the chance to find new rules for every new composition. And it was to be the greatest boost to innovation in the world of jazz. Ornette Coleman’s album from December 1960 stands at the beginning of the free jazz era like a massive portal.

The Oscar Peterson Trio – West Side Story – Verve 200g 45 RPM Vinyl

£75.00
One of the first Broadway musical scores to be overtly jazz-influenced was Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story, a tale of rival street gangs in the inner city. In 1962, pianist Oscar Peterson put his light-swing signature on the already popular score, making it, in the words of one critic, "a delight to hear again" and earning him a Grammy nomination.
Originally released in 1962
