For the listener who reached the Dead through Miles, or reached Miles through the Dead: this is where jazz vinyl lives at Relix.
The collection runs 582 titles deep, from canonical studio records to festival documents and New Orleans brass. Miles Davis appears across several eras and formats: Kind of Blue on Vinyl LP from Sony Music, Birth of the Cool on Vinyl LP from Blue Note, Bitches Brew on Vinyl 2xLP from Sony Legacy, and the mono pressing of Sketches of Spain from Sony Legacy. Thelonious Monk is represented by two essential records: Brilliant Corners on Vinyl LP from Craft Recordings and the live Paris 1969 on Vinyl 2xLP from Blue Note. Charlie Parker's Bird at St. Nick's, a live Vinyl LP from Craft Recordings, captures a 1950 club night that has circulated among collectors for decades. The Philadelphia Experiment's Live at Newport Jazz Festival arrives as a Vinyl 2xLP from Newport Festivals, bridging the festival world Relix has covered since 1974 with the jazz tradition. Big Band of Brothers brings their A Jazz Celebration of the Allman Brothers Band on a peach-colored Vinyl 2xLP from New West Records. Butcher Brown's Letters from the Atlantic is pressed on sea blue Vinyl LP from Concord. Preservation Hall Jazz Band contributes two LPs from Preservation Hall Merchandise: A Tuba to Cuba and That's It!, both rooted in the New Orleans tradition the magazine has documented for fifty years.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the intersection of jazz, rock, and improvised music since 1974. The store reflects that editorial history rather than an algorithm. The Sessions series, which has paired Relix with artists for exclusive recorded performances, informs how we think about live documents and archival releases. When a title appears here, it is because someone on the editorial side knows the record, not because it cleared a margin threshold. That context matters when you are choosing between pressings or deciding whether a live document is worth the investment.
All records are new and sealed. Pre-order titles display a street date on the product page and ship when the label releases them into distribution. Vinyl ships in protective packaging built for LPs.
To keep exploring, the Live Vinyl Albums and Records collection pulls together concert documents across genres, including several titles that cross between jazz and the broader improvised music world Relix covers. The Jazz Vinyl and CDs: Classic and Contemporary collection extends the catalog into CD format and spans earlier decades alongside current releases.
