Doin' Allright

LP (Item 10924) Blue Note, 1961 — Condition: Very Good
Also available
Dexter Gordon — Doin' Allright ... CD 4.99
Doin Allright? Dexter's doing great on this one – working with that fully mature Blue Note sound of his – a rich approach to soloing that keeps the tracks cooking with excitement! The group on the set's an all-star lineup that includes Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Horace Parlan on piano, George Tucker on bass, and Al Harewood on drums – and the tunes are a great blend of soulful rhythms and bop improvisation – heard especially well on the album's landmark tune "Society Red"! All tracks are great, though – and other titles include "You've Changed", "For Regulars Only", and "I Was Doing All Right".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Mono New York pressing with RVG stamp and ear. Cover has a partial top seam split, lower corner bend with a light stain, light surface wear & aging. Includes Blue Note inner sleeve.)

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

Additional Marks & Notes

If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

This isn't one of those "phoned in" sessions that seem to turn up way too much in contemporary jazz! The album's a real classic from Dexter's first big "comeback" period – and represents the strength of his Blue Note years at their best! Gordon's rich, full tone isn't ... LP, Vinyl record album

Blue Note, 1970. Near Mint-
Donald Byrd in a sweet electric mode – as you'd guess from the title!

Grant Green

Idle Moments
Blue Note, 1963. Sealed
A warmly melodic session from Blue Note's greatest guitarist!

LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, 1968. Good Gatefold
The quintessential sound of late 60s Horace Silver – on one hand still very much in the Blue Note soul jazz groove that earned him plenty of jukebox single play, but on the other hand really stretching out with a style that's a bit more righteous than before! Horace shows that he can still ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sidewinder
Blue Note, 1964. Sealed
A jazz classic if there ever was one – and the best-selling album ever by Lee Morgan, thanks to the use of the title track in a car commercial!

Duke Pearson

Phantom
Blue Note, 1969. Sealed
Incredible work from pianist Duke Pearson – a darkly-tinged album of grooves that surpasses all his other gems for Blue Note!

Soul Station
Blue Note, 1960. Sealed
One of the key classics from the hardbop years of Blue Note – the kind of album that really set the label apart from the rest at the time!
