Mann In The Morning

LP (Item 80812) Prestige, 1957 — Condition: Very Good
Originally: 14.99
Different work than usual for Herbie – a series of sides recorded in Sweden in the late 50s, featuring Herbie on both flute and tenor! The feel here is at once more poised and more open than some of Herbie's US sides from the time – as the groups shift from track to track, and Herbie's movement between tenor and flute gives the album a nicely rough edge. Players include Ake Persson, Rolf Blomqvist, Arne Domnerus, and Beng Arne Wallin – and titles include "Cherry Point", "Serenada", "Hurry Burry", "Adam's Theme", "Ow", and "Nature Boy".  © 1996-2023, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(NOTE – Mono blue label Prestige pressing in a green-tinted Status sleeve, with light wear and mostly split spine. Vinyl has a mark that clicks during the end of "I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me" and the beginning of "Song For Ruth".)

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.

Verve, Early 60s. Sealed
Excellent Verve work from Herbie – a sweet little set with a nice Latin undercurrent! The style here is similar to that of Herbie's Flautista album – and has some larger arrangements from a nonet set the backdrop for some evocative flute solos from Mann. The instrumentation is very ... LP, Vinyl record album
Bethlehem, Mid 50s. Good
An early showcase for the cool, compressed flute work of the young Herbie Mann – a style that created a great bridge to jazz for so many later players on the instrument! The Mann heard here isn't the overblown, soul-drenched Herbie of the 60s – but a player who's very careful with his ... LP, Vinyl record album

Sonny Rollins

Rollins Plays For Bird
Prestige, 1956. Very Good-
The tenor of Sonny Rollins pays tribute to the alto of Charlie Parker – in a landmark set that's one of Sonny's real standout 50s sessions for Prestige! Sonny's tone on the tenor is proud and bold throughout – able to shift and turn in the spirit of Bird, but also very much in Rollins' ... LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige, 1962. Very Good+
Long lyrical piano tracks by Red Garland – with backing by Wendell Marshall on bass and Charlie Persip on drums! Titles include "Baby, Won't You Please Come Home", "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen", and "My Honey's Loving Arms". LP, Vinyl record album

John Coltrane

Settin The Pace
Prestige, 1958. Very Good
4 long tracks with plenty of room to roam around – a perfect setting for a young John Coltrane to demonstrate his distinctly different approach to the tenor sax! The album's one of Trane's key classics for Prestige – a quartet side that features backing by the trio of Red Garland on ... LP, Vinyl record album

Stan Getz

Quartets
Prestige, 1949/1950. Very Good-
Groundbreaking early work from Stan Getz – a 12" LP that compiles earlier recordings made for Prestige at the end of the 40s – all of which are a perfect exercise in tone, timing, and balance! The setting is simple – quartets with either Al Haig or Tony Aless on piano – ... LP, Vinyl record album
Prestige, 1961/1977. Very Good+ 2LP Gatefold
2 LP set that reissues 2 harder to find Dolphy records: Here & There, and Eric Dolphy In Europe Vol 2. Here & There has Dolphy in studio sessions with Jaki Byard, Booker Little, and Mal Waldron – and it includes the tracks "Status Seeking", "God Bless The Child", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Melvin Sparks

Akilah!
Prestige, 1972. Very Good-
A monster from Melvin Sparks – one of his greatest three albums! The set was cut for Prestige during the years when they were expanding the lineup on the albums a bit past the usual soul jazz quintet format – but even with a bigger group, the album's still got a great array of players, ...

Paul Quinichette, Buck Clayton, Nat Pierce, et al

Basie Reunions (2LP pressing – Basie Reunion/For Basie)
Prestige, Late 50s. Sealed 2LP Gatefold
The title tells the tale on this one – as the session's a studio meeting of players all associated with Count Basie over the years – captured here in a style that's much more laidback and relaxed than the usual Basie set! Originally issued as 2 separate LPs a year apart, and both have ... LP, Vinyl record album

Eddie Lockjaw Davis

Jaws In Orbit
Prestige, 1959. Near Mint-
Eddie Lockjaw Davis swings way out here – working in that cool cooking mode from the 50s, with organist Shirley Scott a very important partner on the date! The group's got a larger sound than usual – thanks to the addition of trombonist Steve Pullman – a player we don't know much ... LP, Vinyl record album

Ronnie Scott

Scott At Ronnie's
RCA (UK), 1973. Very Good+
A killer set from British tenorist Ronnie Scott – and a record that's very different than anything else he's ever done! There's a lean sound to the record, as Ronnie blows in a hip trio with organ work from Mike Carr – a very groovy sthle that has Scott taking off with all these styles ... LP, Vinyl record album

Donald Byrd

Electric Byrd
Blue Note, 1970. Very Good
Donald Byrd in a sweet electric mode – as you'd guess from the title! The set was recorded right before Byrd's legendary run with Larry Mizell in the early 70s – and the electric approach is a bit different here – a style that blends Byrd's wonderful trumpet lines with the larger ...
