Bossa Nova + Soul
LP (Item 5666) Time, Late 60s — Condition: Very Good
Related searches
One of the most unique albums ever cut by pianist Marian McPartland – and definitely a set that offers up the bossa and soul promised in the title! Marian's playing electric and acoustic, over some very groovy rhythms from the trio of Ben Tucker on bass, Dave Bailey on drums, and Ralph Dorsey on congas – a group who give Marian a groove that's much more like the sort you'd find on a 60s record by Vince Guaraldi than any of her other work! The electric piano is great – not a Fender Rhodes, but most likely a Wurlitzer – which creates unusual tones that again really changes the McPartland sound – and the rhythms throughout create a wicked vibe, and loads of wonderful modal numbers. Titles include "Stranger In A Dream", "Coming Home Baby", "Green Dolphin Street", "Baby You Should Know It", "Love For Sale", "Tell Me", and "Sweet And Lovely". © 1996-2022, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Stereo pressing with deep groove. Cover has light wear and aging, center splits in the spine and bottom seam and light tearing along the bottom paste-on.)
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.

One of the few albums by this hip modern jazz combo from the UK – a quintet with a twin horn lineup that plays the tenor of Vic Ash against the baritone of Harry Klein – maybe west west coast inspirations, but a harder swing overall!

One of Tito Puente's best sides for RCA – a really jazzy effort that was cut with a top-shelf list of players!

Triple S Connection20th Century, 1979. Near Mint-
A late group production effort by Bill Bunky Sheppard, the genius behind so many other Chicago groups of the 60's and 70's.
