Related searches
One of our favorite-ever team up classics on Verve Records – a completely sublime meeting between aging tenor genius Ben Webster and younger baritone magician Gerry Mulligan – both players here who really seem to rise up even more than usual in the company of each other! The set's maybe one of Ben's best for Verve during this stretch – performed with a stunning tone, and that soulful, sensitive swing that he virtually invented – which also seems to bring out some different qualities in Mulligan's horn, maybe in part because there's also great piano work in the group from Jimmy Rowles, who's a subtle but key part of the session. Other players include Leroy Vinnegar on bass and Mel Lewis on drums – and titles include "Tell Me When", "Go Home", "The Cat Walk", "Sunday", "Chelsea Bridge", and "Who's Got Rhythm". © 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.
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.

Best Of Cal TjaderVerve, Mid 60s. Near Mint- Gatefold
Cal cut so many great sides for Verve during the 60s, it's hard to imagine how anyone could come up with a "best of" – but this album fits the bill nicely, and includes a number of solid groover and Latin jazz tracks that fit just right! Includes "Sake & Greens", ... LP, Vinyl record album
Stan Getz
Cool Velvet – Stan Getz & StringsVerve, Mid 50s. Very Good
An incredibly haunting session that has Stan's edgey alto fronting some of Russ Garcia's arch-modernist string arrangements – similar to those that he contributed to other Verve albums of the same style. Getz maintains a wonderfully breathy tone that floats above the orchestrations, and the ... LP, Vinyl record album
Coleman Hawkins & Ben Webster
Coleman Hawkins Encounters Ben WebsterVerve, 1957. Near Mint- Gatefold
A classic set in the best Verve Records mode – as these two mature giants of the tenor sax get lots of room to open up and solo with a great rhythm section at the core! Both Hawkins and Webster have a fantastic sense of tone and timing – and the space of the record really lets you hear ... LP, Vinyl record album
Oscar Peterson
Jazz Portrait Of Frank SinatraVerve, 1959. Near Mint-
Oscar pays tribute to Frank – but he uses his keys, not his voice – to come up with some great renditions of tunes from Sinatra's classic Capitol years! It's true that Peterson was known to vocalize on some sessions (most notably on his tribute to Nat King Cole, recorded a few years ... LP, Vinyl record album
Lester Young/
Jazz Giants '56
Verve, 1956. Near Mint- Gatefold
A set with the date of 1956 very firmly planted in the title – but one that's also gone onto become a timeless ensemble session from Verve Records! The feel here is almost in jam session mode, but perhaps a bit tighter – a group of all-star players from the mid-50s, with Lester Young ... LP, Vinyl record album
Oscar Peterson
Oscar Peterson Trio PlaysVerve, 1964. Near Mint-
The Oscar Peterson Trio plays – and pretty nicely too! The album's got a simple, unassuming cover and title – but it delivers some rock-solid grooves that are very much in the spirit of Peterson's famous sound in the 60s – that classic combination of piano, bass, and drums ... LP, Vinyl record album
Count Basie
Count Basie At NewportVerve, 1957. Very Good+
The 50s Basie band, loud and proud – recorded beautifully by Verve on the stage of the Newport Jazz Festival in 1957 – a great year, both for the group and the fest! The lineup here features Count Basie firmly at the helm on piano – with players who include Lester Young, Illinois ... LP, Vinyl record album
Sonny Stitt
Only The BluesVerve, 1957. Near Mint-
Probably the most classic of Stitt's sides for Verve – and certainly the one that gets rated time and time again by jazz collectors. We think it's pretty darn great – although we always wonder why folks don't give Stitt's other sides for Verve as much of a chance, because they're all ... LP, Vinyl record album
Kid Ory & Red Allen
We've Got RhythmVerve, Late 50s. Near Mint-
Recorded when Ory was 74, this pairs two of the big names from the early generations of New Orleans jazz. Also playing with them are Bob McCracken, Cedric Haywood, Frank Haggerty, Morty Corb, and Alton Redd. The song titles include "Christopher Columbus", "Some Of These Days" ... LP, Vinyl record album
Oscar Peterson
West Side StoryVerve, 1962. Near Mint-
The West Side Story score – but handled here by the great Oscar Peterson Trio – in ways that really push the tunes past their Broadway roots! The approach is tight, soulful, and filled with strong lines from Peterson on piano – plus bass by Ray Brown and drums from Ed Thigpen ... LP, Vinyl record album
Art Blakey
IndestructibleBlue Note, 1964. Sealed
Maybe one of the most famous records ever from master drummer Art Blakey – in part because of the cover, which has come to stand for the Blue Note aesthetic of the 60s! But despite that famous image, the music is more than worthy of attention – as the group features that unusual sextet ... LP, Vinyl record album
Eric Dolphy
Out To LunchBlue Note, 1964. Sealed
One of Eric Dolphy's lasting classics – and possibly the ultimate album of "new thing" jazz from the mid 60s! The record's got an even sharper edge than previous Dolphy recordings for Prestige – a really unique combination of instrumentation that includes Freddie Hubbard on ... LP, Vinyl record album
