Here Is Phineas

LP (Item 27143) Atlantic, Late 50s — Condition: Near Mint-
Classic early work by Phineas Newborn – and a record cut right after his emergence from the great Memphis scene of the 1950s! Most of the album features trio material – cut with Kenny Clarke on drums and Oscar Pettiford on bass – but a few tracks also feature some very nice guitar work by Newborn's lesser-known brother, Calvin – who helps give the record some slight bluesy undercurrents you won't hear on other albums from Phineas at the time. The style is a mix of bop soloing and that lyrical approach to the keyboard that Newborn was forging along with a few other popular pianists of his generation – and titles include "Dahoud", "Celia", "Barbados", and "Newport Blues".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Green label stereo pressing with deep groove. The back cover has light surface wear, while the front looks great!)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor surface noise when played.

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.

Phineas Newborn

World Of Piano
Contemporary, 1961. Near Mint-
Maybe not a "world" of piano, but a real classic from Phineas Newborn – a record that marks a harder, more soulful sound than some of his 50s work – shaking free from some of his flowery touches on the keys, and digging much deeper into the groove of his Memphis roots! The ... LP, Vinyl record album

John Coltrane

My Favorite Things
Atlantic, 1961. Fair
Wonderful wonderful wonderful work from the legendary John Coltrane – and even though it's probably one of his best-selling albums of all time, it's still a treasure – and has an essential place in just about any jazz collection! We've heard the original title version of "My ... LP, Vinyl record album

John Coltrane

Giant Steps
Atlantic, 1959. Very Good
A true giant step for John Coltrane – and one of the first albums to really showcase his talent as a writer – and his amazing ability for penning some of the most soulful, spiritual themes in jazz! Apart from the well-known title cut, the record's filled with other Coltrane classics ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1976. Near Mint-
Eddie continues the funky groove begun on Instant Funk, and smoothed out over albums like I Need Some Money – and although jazz fans probably gave him hell for going this way, we think this is actually a pretty darn great album! The record takes all of Eddie's experimentation with groovy ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, 1959/1960. Very Good
What can we say? Trane's work for Atlantic is still some of his best – and the versions of tunes on this album remain as some of the best-remembered tracks in his rich rich bag of songs. Titles include "Giant Steps", "Naima", "Cousin Mary", "Equinox", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Harris

In Sound
Atlantic, 1965. Very Good+
We can never get enough of Eddie Harris – and a record like this is a great reason why! Despite all the many different settings Eddie worked in at Atlantic, he still always stayed true to his roots – and a record like this is a perfect example of that – no electric horn, no funk, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Philly Joe Jones & Elvin Jones

Philly Joe Jones & Elvin Jones Together!
Atlantic, 1961. Very Good+
A stunner of an album – and one that definitely draws plenty power from the double drummers in the lead! The set's way different than most of Elvin Jones' other work of the time – and is even more hard-hitting than some of the Philly Joe Jones sessions too – and, unusual for ... LP, Vinyl record album
Atlantic, Early 1950s. Very Good
A very obscure Atlantic 10" album from tenor genius Don Byas – with tracks that include "Easy To Love", "Stardust", "The Man I Love", "Night & Day", and "Where Or When". LP, Vinyl record album

Coleman Hawkins & Frank Wess

Commodore Years – The Tenor Sax
Atlantic, 1940/1943/1950. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
A collection of recordings done for the Commodore label, with sides from Coleman Hawkins with The Chocolate Dandies and Leonard Feather's All Stars, and Frank Wess with his quintet and sextet. LP, Vinyl record album

Milt Jackson

Vibrations
Atlantic, 1964. Very Good+
Excellent work as a leader from vibist Milt Jackson – very different than his Atlantic recordings with the Modern Jazz Quartet! This set has Milt working in a few different settings – including a great larger group with Tommy Flanagan on piano, Jimmy Heath on tenor, and Tate Houston on ... LP, Vinyl record album

Charles Mingus

Oh Yeah
Atlantic, 1962. Near Mint-
Quite a crazy little record from Charles Mingus – a record that fits nicely in his legacy of other recordings for Atlantic, but which has a very different approach! On this set, Mingus plays piano, and even sings a bit – using this messed-up take on blues roots, but filtered through a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Marvin Stamm

Machinations
Verve, Late 60s. Near Mint-
A great one! This album represents Verve at the height of their late 60s nutty stage – and the record is a wild mix of jazzy arrangements with lots of other cool orchestrations. The band is led by trumpeter Marvin Stamm, and the arrangements are by Johnny Carisi. The arrangements are very ... LP, Vinyl record album
