 |
3. ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICAGO: “Phase One” (Nippon Columbia – YS-2621-MU) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Original 1st Japan pressing. To these ears, “Phase One” is prime time Art Ensemble of Chicago material, making it one of the headiest albums by them, rubbing shoulders with “Stance a Sophie” and “People in Sorrow”. The whole affair, which consists out of two sidelong tracks is a brilliant mix of dusty catatonic noise and ear-deafening silences making it to walk the razor’s edge between crystal clear avant-garde compositions and heated free jazz eruptions. The track "Ohnedaruth" builds slowly with a variety of percussion, breathing out a remarkable sense of sound and space before elapsing into a more reed-based approach that leads to the other sidelong head spinner "Lebert Aaly" – the group's brilliant tribute to the late Albert Ayler! The sound the band breathes into existence is incredibly deep and multi-layered with cosmic tonalities and bridges the gap successfully like no other ensemble between fire music and atonal free form avant-garde outings. Truly majestically executed all the way round. TOP COPY! Price: 30 Euro |

4. PAUL BLEY TRIO: “Touching” (Freedom – PA-9712) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Japan press – 2nd issue with alternate sleeve art in top condition. On “Touching” Bley gets flanked by Kent Carter on bass and Barry Altschul on drums and as a trio they started recording compositions that featured works by Carla Bley, Ornette Coleman and Gary Peacock's wife Annette Peacock. Several trio projects materialized in Scandinavia during the years 1965-1966; from this point on Bley would spend increasing amounts of time performing and recording in Europe. “Touching” was recorded and released during that period and shows Bley in top form, free roaming on the keys but yet very lyrical in his approach, making the recording such a thrill to lend your ears to. "Pablo" is a free improvisation but otherwise the compositions contrast thoughtful moments with fiery group interaction. The playing by the trio is at a high level and it is interesting to hear Paul Bley’s mid-'60s avant-garde improvising style, which offered a contrast to the denser playing of Cecil Taylor. Beautiful recording!!! Just stellar, Paul Bley will be missed indeed. Virginal condition! Price: 30 Euro |

15. DOLPHY, ERIC: “At The Five Spot” (Prestige – LLP-88131) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Japan original pressing – 2nd issue with obi. Rare Japan 1964 original 1st pressing in amazing condition. “This is the second of three sets that document the Erik Dolphy/ Booker Little quintet's playing at the Five Spot. It features a group made up of pianist Mal Waldron, bassist Richard Davis and drummer Ed Blackwell really stretching out during long versions of Little’s "Aggression" and the standard "Like Someone in Love." Dolphy’s playing -- whether on alto, bass clarinet or flute -- always defied categorization, while Little (who passed away less than three months later) was the first new voice on the trumpet to emerge after Clifford Brown’s death in 1956. An excellent set that records what may have been Dolphy’s finest group ever, as well as one of that era's best working bands.” (All Music Guide) Indispensable! Price: 30 Euro |

16. DOLPHY, ERIC: “In Europe – Volume 3” (Prestige/ Victor – SMJ-6577) (Record: Near Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Pristine condition Japanese press issue all complete with obi. This is volume 3 of Prestige's set of European recordings by Dolphy, some of the last he would make before he passed away at a very young age. The group features Swedish piano giant Bent Axen, plus a rhythm section that includes Erik Moseholm on bass and Jorn Elniff on drums. Like most Dolphy recordings from the time, however, the main focus is on Dolphy himself, and the long tracks feature some beautiful extended solos on alto and bass clarinet. Price: 30 Euro |
 |
17. DOLPHY, ERIC: “Berlin Concerts” (Enja/ Nippon Phonogram – SFX-10049~50) ( 2 LP Record: Near Mint/ Gatefold Jacket: Near Mint with faintest trace of foxing/ Insert: Near Mint/ Obi: Near Mint). Beautiful & all complete Japanese press original. Wonderful work by Dolphy -- as essential to his catalog as any of his albums on Prestige from the same time! Although Dolphy broke plenty of musical barriers in the studio, to our ears, it was always in a live setting that he sounded best -- freely exploring the kind of space his playing opened up, hitting notes that were more soulful and spiritual than many that he ever recorded on his studio sides. This set is a perfect example of that trend -- as Dolphy's working here with a strong straight jazz combo, one that includes the great Benny Bailey on trumpet, in a set that features familiar tunes, turned into haunting explorations of Dolphy's new jazz idiom. One of the highlights is an incredible 15-minute version of Randy Weston's "Hi Fly", with Dolphy doing great work on flute. Price: 35 Euro |

18. DORHAM, KENNY & JACKIE McLEAN: “Inta Somethin’” (Liberty – LLJ-70034) (Record: Near Mint ~ Mint/ Jacket: Near Mint/ Insert: Mint/ Obi: Mint). Rare Japan later pressing!

Featuring four standards bookended by two Dorham originals, the album also includes contributions from dynamic bassist Leroy Vinnegar amongst others. Inta Somethin' is a classic hard bop live session that includes a version of Dorham's great 'Uno Mas' a year before the Blue Note album of the same name. Price: 35 Euro |

24. HITLER SS b/w TAMPAX: “Hitler’s Vogue – Slave Naked – No Solution b/w U.F.O Dictator – Tampax (In The Cunt)” (Napalm Records) (EP Single: Near Mint/ 2 Sided Sleeve: Near Mint/ Insert: Near Mint). Long gone and out of print high quality limited reissue of this awesome Italian punk two-sider. Really killer punk single with two bands taken up each one side of the EP. Both are stellar and especially Hitler SS is a head cleaner, blessed with fluid spacey and quite psychedelic sounding guitar playing that stands out against the snotty and snarly vocals, underscored by a primitive but very effective rhythm section. But the guitar is killer and makes me feel like a trigger-happy cop in a fear frenzy! So awesome and one of my all time fave punk releases!!! That aside I love the politically incorrect band names, you can’t hardly go wrong with those without kicking some bourgeois sucker in the crotch. Love these kids embryonic sense of humor!!! A brilliant mix of defiance and despair! What ya want more? Price: 40 Euro |
