Hank Jones' Be Bop Piano (10 inch LP)
LP (Item 470813) Mercury, Early 50s — Condition: Very Good+
Related searches
Rare early work as a leader from Hank Jones – a solo showcase produced by Norman Granz during his years with Mercury! Jones is working solo throughout – really getting a chance to stretch out and try new ideas – in ways that have him balancing between sweeter sounds and some sharper modern moments that seem to come in and stir things up, but often in very subtle ways. Titles include "Blues For Lady Day", "Tea For Two", "You're Blase", and "Blue Room". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Original deep groove Mercury pressing! Cover has two small bits of tape, but looks nice overall – and vinyl is great!)

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.
