Phillips' Head
LP (Item 527464) Choice, 1975 — Condition: Sealed
Related searches
Tenorist Flip Phillips was one of the leading lights of the early days of Verve Records – a key player in the JATP, and an artist who also got to record a fair bit as a leader, too – and although other record companies didn't record Flip as often in the 60s and 70s, it's clear from a set like this that he really continued to stay at the top of his game! Some of Phillips' other albums maybe are in a straighter, swing based mode – but this set is more open and creative, and not only has Flip on tenor, but a bit of bass clarinet too – the latter of which he blows with a hell of a lot of care and charm. The rest of the group features Mickey Crane on piano, Milt Hinton on bass, and Mousey Alexander on drums – and titles include "Fat Tessie's Ass", "Nature Boy", "Love Story", "Jeannie", "Nancy", and "This Is All I Ask". © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
Sealed
This is what it says, that the record is still held fast in shrink-wrap. We tend to be pretty suspicious about these things, so if the shrink-wrap doesn't look original, or if the record seems to have undergone some damage over time, we'll probably take it out of the wrapper to ensure that it's in good shape — which is why we don't have more of these. In some cases the shrink-wrap may be torn in spots, but if it's not possible the record has been taken out and played, the record will still qualify as "Sealed".
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.

For YouChoice, 1979. Near Mint-
Beautiful solo work from pianist Sal Mosca – an under-acknowledged genius for mixing modern and lyrical modes!

Not as much of a party as you might expect from the title, but quite a lively little album – and possibly one of Zoot's best from the 70s!

A hell of a record from the young Roland Kirk – one of his first for Mercury Records, and the start of a great run of genius in the 60s!

Demon's DanceBlue Note, 1967. Very Good+

John La Porta Quartet
Most MinorEverest, 1958. Very Good+
Great work by a player we've always loved – but who rarely gets his due! John LaPorta had one of the sharpest altos of the 50's, but for some reason, his talents were not nearly as recognized as those of similar players like Lee Konitz and Charlie Mariano. His earlier work with Mingus has ... LP, Vinyl record album
