Haunted Guitar (10 inch LP – nude cover)

LP (Item 184610) Toshiba (Japan), Early 1960s — Condition: Very Good
A beautifully moody record from the Japanese jazz scene of the postwar years – a set that features plenty of guitar solos from Shoichiro Matsumiya – over spare backings by Shin Watanabe and his Six Joes!  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

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.

Toshiba/Universal (Japan), 1961. Near Mint-
A key showcase of some of the fantastic groups who were starting to shape the sound of jazz on the Japanese jazz scene at the start of the 60s –a set that's a nice contrast to the first volume in this series, which featured all of the different musicians jamming together! Here, leadership is ... LP, Vinyl record album

Boiling Point

Boiling Point
Toshiba (Japan), Mid 70s. Near Mint-
A hi fidelity set of Japanese jazz – recorded direct to disc in the mid 70s, and featuring a group led by guitarist Shoji Yokouchi, and featuring tenor sax by Kounosuke Saijoh. The overall feel is relatively traditional – almost in a Verve-type swing mode, but with some more open ended ... LP, Vinyl record album
Impulse, 1966. Very Good- Gatefold
John Coltrane returns to the Village Vanguard – but his sound here is a lot more far-reaching than a few years before! The album's a great counterpart to the first Vanguard session – as it takes all of the bold, soaring energy of that date, and balances it with the newly introspective ... LP, Vinyl record album

Kenny Dorham

Trompeta Toccata
Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint-
A wonderfully free-thinking set by Kenny Dorham – and a record that really breaks from his earlier work! The album's not exactly experimental, but it features longer tracks with a looser approach than some of Dorham's sweeter shorter work – more in a rhythmically progressive mode that ... LP, Vinyl record album

Donald Byrd

Ethiopian Knights
Blue Note, 1972. Near Mint-
Sweet electric funk from trumpeter Donald Byrd – one of his first forays into an electric mode, and done in a style that's very different than his better-known soul fusion of the mid 70s! Before Byrd hooked up with Larry Mizell and started recording his smooth fusion grooves on records like ... LP, Vinyl record album

Freddie Hubbard

Open Sesame
Blue Note, 1960. Near Mint-
Seminal work from Freddie Hubbard – an early hardbop session that features some great work by Tina Brooks on tenor, piano by McCoy Tyner, and rhythm from the team of Sam Jones on bass Clifford Jarvis on drums! And although Freddie's great at this early point in his career – playing ... LP, Vinyl record album

Art Blakey

Buhaina's Delight
Blue Note, 1961. Near Mint-
A landmark recording by a whole new chapter in Art Blakey's career! During the early 60s, Blakey expanded the Jazz Messengers from a quintet to an incredibly tight sextet – adding in the trombone of Curtis Fuller for an extra-punched up frontline that also included Freddie Hubbard on trumpet ... LP, Vinyl record album

Gil Evans

Gil Evans
Ampex, 1971. Near Mint-
A great record – and on that hardly ever shows up on the radar screen of Gil's career! The session was recorded with a very hip group that includes Billy Harper on tenor and flute, Elvin Jones and Alphonze Mouzon on drums, Joe Beck on electric guitar, and Herb Bushler on Fender bass. The ... LP, Vinyl record album

Johnny Hodges & Wild Bill Davis

Mess Of Blues
Verve, 1963. Near Mint-
Straight ahead soul jazz traditionalism – with a lineup that includes Johnny Hodges; alto sax. Wild Bill Davis; organ. Kenny Burrell; guitar. Joe Wilder; trumpet. Osie Johnson or Ed Shaughnessy; drums. Features Davis' "Stolen Sweets", Hodges' "A & R Blues", "Lost ... LP, Vinyl record album

Norman Simmons

Midnight Creeper
Milljac, 1979. Near Mint-
Great work from the trio that backed up Betty Carter in the early 70s – pianist Norman Simmons, bassist Lisle Atkinson, and drummer Al Harewood! The group play with a gentle groove that has an easygoing soul jazz quality on most tracks – and the set features a strong Simmons original ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dave Brubeck & Jimmy Rushing

Brubeck & Rushing
Columbia, 1960. Near Mint-
One of the coolest collaborations of Dave Brubeck's years at Columbia Records – and one of the greatest jazz sessions from vocalist Jimmy Rushing too! On paper, the modernist Brubeck and Kansas City roots singer Rushing would seem to be a very unlikely pair – but by this time in his ... LP, Vinyl record album

Leon Thomas

Full Circle
Flying Dutchman, 1973. Sealed Gatefold
The last album in Leon Thomas' classic run of albums for the Flying Dutchman label – and one of the most unique as well! There's a tighter feel here than some of Thomas' more free-flowing spiritual jazz sessions – but the sound is hardly commercial at all, either – and still has ... LP, Vinyl record album
