Jazz Maverick

LP (Item 574768) Roulette, 1960 — Condition: Very Good+
Wonderful late work from Jack Teagarden – pulled from his excellent years at Roulette Records – which are maybe some of our favorite! Jack's hardly a maverick here – not really on the front line of jazz, but definitely finding a way to reinvent his sound for the 60s – with this excellent mode that shows all his years on the planet, inflected with a maturity in his style that he never had in earlier decades. In way, Teagarden's shift is a bit like the way that Coleman Hawkins and Pee Wee Russell were working in their later years – although maybe a bit more subtle, and often hidden behind his charms – which are undeniable, especially when he's singing. The group features trumpet, clarinet, piano, bass, and drums – in addition to Jack's voice and trombone – and titles include "Ever Lovin Baby", "Blue Dawn", "Aunt Hager's Country Home", "Roundtable Romp", and "Ain't Cha Glad".  © 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.

Nicely swingin' LP put together by the man who supervised some of Stan Kenton's best afro-cuban sessions.
