All Star Road Band

LP (Item 659637) Doctor Jazz, 1957 — Condition: Near Mint-
2LP Gatefold
Originally: 11.99
With Joe Benjamin on bass, Sam Woodyard on drums, Harold Shorty Baker, Willie Cook, and Clark Terry on trumpets, Ray Nance on cornet, Quentin Jackson, Britt Woodman, John Sanders, and Johnny Hodges on alto, Russell Procope and Jimmy Hamilton on alto and clarinet, Paul Gonsalves on tenor, and Harry Carney on baritone and bass clarinet.  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Mid 80s issue. Cover has light edge wear.)

Near Mint - (minus)

  • Black vinyl that may show a slight amount of dust or dirt.
  • Should still be very shiny under a light, even with slight amount of dust on surface.
  • One or two small marks that would make an otherwise near perfect record slightly less so. These marks cannot be too deep, and should only be surface marks that won't affect play, but might detract from the looks.
  • May have some flaws and discoloration in the vinyl, but only those that would be intrinsic to the pressing. These should disappear when the record is tilted under the light, and will only show up when looking straight at the record. (Buddah and ABC pressings from the 70's are a good example of this.)
  • May have some slight marks from aging of the paper sleeve on the vinyl.
  • Possible minor 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.

Mobile Fidelity/Columbia, 1956. Sealed
One of the first albums to ever issue recordings made at the Newport Jazz Festival – quite a big hit, and the beginning of a real trend in jazz!

Duke Ellington

Feeling Of Jazz
Black Lion (Germany), 1962. Near Mint-
A sharp early 60s session from the Duke Ellington group – one that seems to draw strongly on the best late 50s work for Columbia Records, but which also seems to add in an extra crackle too! The tunes are relatively short, but the group pack plenty of punch in the small space – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Duke Ellington

Such Sweet Thunder
Columbia, 1957. Very Good+
Excellent Duke Ellington work from the late 50s – written and recorded during a period in which he was reemerging with a stronger jazz vision than ever before! The set was written by Ellington and Strayhorn – and dedicated to the Shakespeare Festival in Stratford, Ontario – but ... LP, Vinyl record album

Duke Ellington

Drum Is A Woman
Columbia, 1956. Very Good
A hokey cover and title, but a hip little record from Duke Ellington – kind of a story of percussion and jazz, all wrapped together with some great vocals and narration! The format is kind of far-reaching, but never too stuffy – and in a way, the album offers a great opportunity to ... LP, Vinyl record album

Duke Ellington

Afro-Eurasian Eclipse
Fantasy, 1971. Near Mint-
One of Duke's last albums – and a great one! The session is right up there with some of Ellington's best late "suites" – an extended work that features writing around exotic themes, played by stalwarts like Paul Gonsalves, Harold Ashby, Rufus Jones, Cootie Williams, and Harry ...

Lonnie Liston Smith

Rejuvenation
Doctor Jazz, 1985. Near Mint-
A smooth groover from the mid 80s by Lonnie Liston Smith – a lot better than you might think for the time! This set has a bit of an 80s keyboard feel to it, but it's also got a laidback soulful approach that's certainly an extension of his 70s spiritualism, with loads of spacey airy touches ...

Wayne Shorter

Night Dreamer
Blue Note, 1964. Near Mint-
Beautiful – simply beautiful – one of the greatest Wayne Shorter albums for Blue Note, and one of our favorite jazz albums ever! The record is a masterpiece of lyrical delight – soul jazz mixed with slight touches of experimentalism – but still warm, swinging, and personal ... LP, Vinyl record album
