7 X Wilder
LP (Item 408945) Verve, 1961 — Condition: Very Good+ Gatefold
Related searches
An overlooked gem from Bob Brookmeyer's key modern years – a quartet session for Verve that features great interplay between Bob and guitarist Jim Hall! The album has Brookmeyer both on piano and valve trombone – ostensibly paying tribute to composer Alec Wilder, referenced in the title – but really just stepping out with Hall in the kind of lightly lyrical, highly inventive work that marked some of Jim and Bob's other collaborations from the time. The rest of the group features Bill Crow on bass and Mel Lewis on drums, but the whole thing's relatively spare overall, with mostly Brookmeyer and Hall dominating the proceedings. Titles include 6 Alec Wilder tunes – including "While We're Young", "It's So Peaceful In The Country", "I'll Be Around", and "Who Can I Turn To" – plus the Brookmeyer original "Blues In The Country". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
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.

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.

Charlie Parker With Strings – Midnight Jazz At Carnegie HallVerve, Early 50s. Near Mint-
The genius of Bird and strings is hard to describe – an edgey approach that really goes far past most other "jazz with strings" projects, not a ballad-driven one, but a tensely strained one that brings out some of Parker's best soloing, almost in a moody soundtrack-type way. The ... LP, Vinyl record album
