Duet!
LP (Item 29928) MPS, 1975 — Condition: Sealed
Related searches
Jaki Byard proves that he's a pianist steeped in rich tradition – capable of reaching back to shake hands with the style of traditionalist Earl Hines, and clever enough to insert a dash of his own modernism into Hines' own style. Most tracks are done as piano-only duets – but a few on the album feature either Byard or Hines playing solo. Titles include "A Toodle Oo, Toodle Oo", "Rosetta", "La Rosita", "As Long As I Live", and "This Is Always". © 1996-2021, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(US Verve/MPS pressing.)
Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
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.

High VoltageMPS, 1970. Near Mint-
Late niceness from Count Basie – and a set that definitely lives up to its name – a really high energy set, and one of the few times that Basie ever recorded for the MPS label!

Dizzy Gillespie Reunion Big Band 20th & 30th AnniversaryMPS, 1968. Very Good+ Gatefold
Tremendous live work from Dizzy Gillespie – and one of his few big band sessions from the time!

Clarke Boland Big Band
Sax No EndMPS, 1967. Near Mint- Gatefold
They got the title right on this one – because with Johnny Griffin, Sahib Shihab, Karl Drewo, and Eddie Lockjaw Davis as main soloists on the record, the sax never ends!

ThesaurusAtlantic, 1968. Near Mint-

Angry Tenors
Savoy, Late 40s/Early 50s. Very Good+
Hey, these guys are mad! Not really, though, but the "angry" in the title refers to the fact that these are early recordings by the players – mostly done during the 78rpm years at Savoy, when all of them were getting their start in small group sessions. Webster plays with Oscar ... LP, Vinyl record album
