Congo Lament
LP (Item 3546) Blue Note, 1962/1981 — Condition: Near Mint-
Related searches
Some of the most wonderful work that Ike Quebec ever recorded – yet a set that was never issued until the early 80s – and even then, only briefly! The group is a top-shelf Blue Note lineup, with soloists as strong as Ike himself – which is great, as the songs are longer than usual for an Ike Quebec album too! Players include Stanley Turrentine on second tenor, Bennie Green on trombone, Sonny Clark on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Art Blakey on drums – on tracks that include "BG's Groove Two", "Congo Lament", "Que's Pills", "See See Rider", and "IQ Shuffle". © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
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.

Foreign IntrigueBlue Note, 1985. Near Mint-
An intriguing little set from drummer Tony Williams – and a set that shows him still very much in command of his talents well into the 80s!

Three Sounds
Live At The LighthouseBlue Note, Late 60s. Very Good
A great little session by The Three Sounds – and one that features the band grooving away in a style that's a lot more lively than some of their studio recordings from the time!

Horace Silver
Best Of Horace SilverBlue Note, 1969. Very Good+
Horace had more hits than most jazz musicians of his generation – and it's only fitting that this best-of set shows up all over the place when we go digging through jazz collections. Most of the tracks are from the late 50s/early 60s years – when Horace's group was a perfect blending ... LP, Vinyl record album
Blue Note, Late 50s. Good
One of Art Blakey's first true moments of genius! This transitional version of the Jazz Messengers included two parts – Lee Morgan and Bobby Timmons – of the holy Morgan/Shorter/Timmons trilogy, and it's also got the added bonus of Benny Golson on tenor, who was at the height of his ...

Revelation
Blue Note, Early 50s. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
A great little 2LP set – and a near-definitive release of recordings made by Gerry Mulligan and Lee Konitz, along with players like Zoot Sims, Allan Eager, and Al Cohn during the early 50s in LA. Some of the sides are studio sets, others are recorded live, and all seem to have a freeness ... LP, Vinyl record album
Earl Klugh
Finger Paintings (Original Master Recording)Mobile Fidelity/Blue Note, 1977. Near Mint-
A real breakout album for Earl Klugh – the kind of record that got him on the a-list of fusion players for the rest of the 70s! The title here is especially well-chosen – as the tunes have a gently colorful feel that's never too slick, despite the tighter setting of the album – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Duke Pearson
How InsensitiveBlue Note, 1969. Very Good
Another bold step forward in the too-short career of Duke Pearson – and one of the last few records before his untimely death! The session departs from previous Pearson work by using vocals on most tracks – sometimes a solo singer, either Andy Bey or Flora Purim, and sometimes a larger ... LP, Vinyl record album
Barry Harris Sextet
Bull's Eye!Prestige, 1968. Very Good
A sock-hard set of Detroit soul jazz that's one of Barry Harris' best albums of the 60s! The group on the record is a sextet – with Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Charles McPherson on tenor, and Pepper Adams on baritone – forging a much harder frontline than you'll hear on some of Barry's ...

John Coltrane
Live At The Village Vanguard Again!Impulse, 1966. Near Mint- Gatefold
John Coltrane returns to the Village Vanguard – but his sound here is a lot more far-reaching than a few years before!
