Here's Lee Morgan

LP (Item 3024) Vee Jay, 1960 — Condition: Very Good+
An excellent early session from a young Lee Morgan – a set that we'd rank right up there with his best Blue Note material of the time! The set's from a time when Lee's trumpet was a key force in the Jazz Messengers – and there's definitely a Messengers vibe going on here, thanks to drums from Art Blakey – who works in a quintet alongside Clifford Jordan on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, and Paul Chambers on bass. Jordan's tenor has a nice sharp edge – and like some of the Wayne Shorter sessions for Vee Jay, there's a nice sense of darkness here that's a bit different than some of Morgan's usual moments. Titles include "Terrible T", "Mogie", "Bess", and Wayne Shorter's "Running Brook".  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Rainbow label pressing with AudioMatrix stamp. Cover has a small center bottom seam split, ghost sticker spot.)

Very Good + (plus)

  • Vinyl should be very clean, but can have less luster than near mint.
  • Should still shine under a light, but one or two marks may show up when tilted.
  • Can have a few small marks that may show up easily, but which do not affect play at all. Most marks of this quality will disappear when the record is tilted, and will not be felt with the back of a fingernail.
  • This is the kind of record that will play "near mint", but which will have some signs of use (although not major ones).
  • May have slight 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.

Cooker
Blue Note, 1957. Near Mint- Gatefold
A very appropriate title for a very cooking little album – one of Lee Morgan's first efforts as a leader, cut back during his first years of late 50s fame!

Blue Note, 1964. Very Good
A brilliant album that proves that even at the height of his success, Lee Morgan was one of the freest thinkers on Blue Note – always coming up with fresh ideas that continued to grow his talents!

Jim Hall

Concierto
CTI, 1975. Near Mint- Gatefold
One of Jim Hall's most compelling albums from the 70s – a mix of lightly swinging tunes and more complicated numbers, recorded with some of his best partners from earlier years!

Verve, Early 1950s. Sealed

Pat Metheny

Bright Size Life
ECM, 1976. Near Mint-
The brilliant debut of Pat Metheny on ECM – a record that would not only begin a stunning run of recordings from Pat, but also really transform the sound of the electric guitar in jazz! The format here is slightly different than some of the later ECM sides, but the Metheny sound is already ... LP, Vinyl record album
Elektra, 1979. Near Mint-
Sublime late live work from Bill Evans – a well-recorded performance for French radio, and one that really stands out from some of the scratchier late 70s concerts on the market!

Jorge Ben

Dadiva
Som Livre (Brazil), 1983. Near Mint-
A great bit of 80s soul from Jorge Ben – a record that has ol' Jorge looking a bit new wave on the cover, but which is filled with grooves that are every bit as strong as any of his late 70s work! The soul style is very firmly in place here – a bit more mainstream than before, but in a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Kraftwerk

Autobahn
Vertigo, 1974. Near Mint-
A groundbreaking record from Kraftwerk – a set that unified the 70s worlds of analogue electronics and prog rock – yet somehow managed to set the scene for a whole new sound to come!

Jr Walker & The All Stars

Rainbow Funk
SOUL, 1971. Near Mint- Gatefold
A record that definitely has Jr Walker & The All Stars picking up a bit of funk – but in a groove that still mixes things with that warmly soulful glow the group had right from the start! The basslines are definitely up a bit from before – although not rumbling in Norman Whitfield ... LP, Vinyl record album
