Lionel Hampton – A Treasury Of Immortal Performances (10 inch LP)

LP (Item 661879) RCA, Late 30s — Condition: Near Mint-
The first-ever LP issue of these groundbreaking late 30s performances from the great vibist – working with players who include Benny Carter and Johnny Hodges on alto, Vido Musso and Ben Webster on tenor, Lawrence Brown on trombone, and Cottie Williams on trumpet!  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(A great copy!)

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.

Condition Notes

If something is relevant, we try to describe it in the notes — especially if it is release or pressing details, or 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, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Lionel Hampton

Best Of Lionel Hampton
MCA, 1940s. Sealed 2LP
(80s issue, still sealed with a cutout notch, faint sticker spot, and small hole at the right side. Cover has lightly bent corners.) LP, Vinyl record album
GNP, Early 50s. Very Good
One of the few albums to really get at the genius of the Lionel Hampton group at the height of their powers – their crowd-pleasing antics that were always a big draw for live audiences! This set catches Hamp and a great group at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium – playing on long tracks ... LP, Vinyl record album
Clef, Early 50s. Very Good
One of Hamp's cool little open-ended sessions for Verve – done in a style that's much more jam-session oriented than some of his other work from earlier (or later) years! The album features Hamp playing vibes with a small combo that includes Buddy De Franco, Herb Ellis, Buddy Rich, Oscar ... LP, Vinyl record album

Lionel Hampton

Lionel Hampton Quintet
Clef, 1954. Very Good
One of these excellent early 50s albums that Hamp cut for Verve – most of which feature him like this, stretching out a lot more than in the early days, working with a small combo of top-line players that each get plenty of room to solo. Players include Buddy Rich, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, ... LP, Vinyl record album

Lonnie Liston Smith

Renaissance
RCA, 1976. Very Good+ Gatefold
A massively sweet groover from Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes – smoother and warmer than some of his earlier albums, with a really soulful fusion vibe – and this perfect mix of jazz, funk, and soul that really takes Smith's music to a whole new level! Lonnie plays acoustic ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dennis Farnon & His Orchestra

Caution! Men Swinging
RCA, 1957. Very Good+
Plenty of men swinging here – a great west coast lineup working under the leadership of Dennis Farnon, almost with the feel of RCA jazz soundtrack work of the time! The arrangements are pretty lively throughout – quite bold at points, and filled with nice colors – never too ... LP, Vinyl record album

Dizzy Gillespie

Dizziest
Bluebird/RCA, Late 40s. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
Great great 2LP set that features some of Dizzy's incredible late 40s work for Bluebird! The set not only includes some killer bop material, of the sort that made Dizzy an instant fave, even with folks who hated Bird – but it also includes some of Dizzy's early cubop recordings, which mixed ... LP, Vinyl record album
RCA (France), 1962/1963. Near Mint- 2LP Gatefold
Nice two-fer that combines 2 great sides from Rollins' RCA years. What's New is a unique album from Sonny Rollins – one that features him blowing tenor over some Latin-based rhythms that have a tight uptempo feel. The core group on the album features Jim Hall on guitar, Bob Cranshaw on bass ... LP, Vinyl record album
RCA (France), 1931/1932. Near Mint-
(70s issue. Cover has light wear and a small trace of a price sticker.) LP, Vinyl record album

Lew Tabackin with Toshiyuki Miyama & His New Herd

Vintage Tenor
RCA (Japan), 1978. Near Mint- Gatefold
The strong tenor work of Lew Tabackin is featured with the Japanese big band of Toshiyuki Miayama and His New Herd – a mostly acoustic outfit that has a complicated sound that's not unlike some of the big band aggregations that Tabackin has led with wife Toshiko Akioshi, but perhaps a bit ...
