Joe Daley Trio At Newport 63

LP (Item 4396) RCA, 1963 — Condition: Very Good+
A rare modern jazz set from the early 60s – noteworthy in that it's one of the few recordings from the time of Chicago tenorist Joe Daley – who works here in a trio with the young Hal Russell on drums! And yes, that's the same Hal that later broke out strongly in the Windy City avant scene on reeds – but he's great here on drums, in a Rollins-like trio setting with Russell Thorne on bass. The writing's great, and very modern without being that "out" – hard angular lines all over the place, and Daley's tenor has a nice hard biting edge. As far as we can tell, this is the only album that the group ever made – with titles that include "Ode To Blackie", "Dexterity", "Ramblin", "One Note", and "Knell".  © 1996-2023, 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.

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.

Great great 2LP set that features some of Dizzy's incredible late 40s work for Bluebird!

Desmond Blue
RCA, 1962. Very Good+
A cool jazz classic from altoist Paul Desmond and guitarist Jim Hall!

Unlike other RCA sides by Hall and Desmond ... LP, Vinyl record album

RCA, 1956. Very Good+
A very nice stripped-down set by Tony Scott – one of the most overlooked reed players of the 50s, and an artist who ventured into much more hippy-dippy oriented material during the 60s. The set supposedly features "both sides" of Scott's work – but it's really only a simple ... LP, Vinyl record album

Brian Auger

Second Wind
RCA, 1972. Very Good-
A brilliant jazz rock jammer from Brian Auger – recorded here with a bit more effects than usual, in a nicely tripped-out way that makes us forgive the vocals and really get into the grooves of the tunes! The group seems even tighter than ever – but never too slick or rocking – ... LP, Vinyl record album

A landmark album from Sonny Rollins – one that marked his comeback in the early 60s, after a brief period of retirement, and which also initiated a string of incredible recordings with guitarist Jim Hall.

Sweet clubby grooving from Joe Thomas – a set that has the Ebony Godfather smoothing his groove a bit for the disco years of the late 70s, but still keeping things plenty soulful throughout!
