Bean (10 inch LP)

LP (Item 470807) EmArcy, Early 40s — Condition: Very Good
A 50s collection of material cut by Coleman Hawkins in the early 40s – working with a wonderful small combo that includes Teddy Wilson on piano and either Roy Eldridge or Buck Clayton on trumpet! The tracks are mostly lively and upbeat, and Hawkins' tenor has that wonderful mid 40s sound – a nice sense of confidence throughout, but with some of the rasp that started to show up in his tone as he aged. There's a sense of soul here that's undeniable – and in a way, the material sounds more 50s-worthy than you'd guess from the original recording dates. Titles include "S Wonderful", "Beyond The Blue Horizon", "Make Believe", "Bean At The Met", "I Only Have Eyes For You", and "Just One Of Those Things".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good

  • Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
  • May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
  • May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
  • May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
  • This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.

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.

Coleman Hawkins

Desafinado
Impulse, 1964. Very Good- Gatefold
The Hawk, in prime late form, lays down some beautiful tenor solos over gentle bossa nova accompaniment – working in a mode that's much more satisfying than just a "classic player meets bossa" session, angularly crafting the solos with that dark edge that he had in all of his later ...

A key slice of Clifford Brown from the 50s – two long tracks both recorded in an open-ended jam session format, showing a side of Brown's powers that's even bolder and more inventive than some of his previous studio work!

Some of the greatest work as a leader ever cut by tenorist Paul Quinichette – longtime Basie alum, and a key player who was the "Vice Pres" next to Lester Young's "Pres". The record is one of the best full-length albums by Quinichette from the early days, and combines ... LP, Vinyl record album

A great little album from Max Roach – one that has him finding a whole new voice in jazz!

Cannonball Adderley

Lush Side Of Cannonball
EmArcy, Late 50s. Very Good+
A wonderfully mellow set of ballads recorded by Cannonball, with orchestral backings by Richard Hayman.

A strong 50s session from Gerry – a bit like some of his work for the Pacific Jazz label, but perhaps a bit more biting and modern.
