Top Sellers: Jazz Record Mart
This week's list comes from RT Edwards, an employee at Jazz Record Mart at 27 East Illinois Street. Rather than tout Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, which Edwards says "always sells" no matter what the week, he came up with a list of some rarer top sellers that have been popular this week.
The list is divided between Blues and Jazz artists, and locals are bolded. Interesting note: The store's owner, Bob Koester, also runs Delmark Records, which is home to some of the artists on this week's list.
Blues
Otis Rush, All Your Love I Miss Loving: Live at the Wise Fools Pub, Chicago (Delmark)
Zora Young, Sunnyland (Airway)
Chicago Blues, A Living History (Raisin Music)
Buddy Guy, A Man and the Blues (Vanguard)
Little Walter, Complete Chess Masters, 1950-1967 (Box set, Geffen)
Jazz
John Coltrane, Meditations (Impulse)
Josh Berman, Old Idea (Delmark)
Max Roach, We Insist! Freedom Now (Candid)
Cannonball Adderley (with Miles Davis, Hank Jones, Sam Jones and Art Blakey), Somethin' Else (Vinyl, Blue Note)
McCoy Tyner (with Ron Carter and Jack Dejohnette), Guitars (Half Note)

Uh, guys? That's Little WALTER, the greatest blues harmonica player that ever lived, not Little Walker. I can tell you've never listened to blues in your life!!
