Have You Met Barcelona?

CD (Item 915718) Orange Blue (France), 1989 — Condition: Used

CD

✈
One of the greatest albums we've ever heard from Ben Sidran – a really relaxed, laidback album that features plenty of great tenor sax from Johnny Griffin! The style here is different from most of Sidran's other albums – never slick or polished, and always at a level that hearkens back to a more personal style of male vocal jazz – particularly that forged by Matt Dennis, Bob Dorough, Mark Murphy, and others back in the small club scene of the 50s. Instrumentation is only by a quartet with Sidran on piano, Griffin on tenor, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Ben Riley on drums – and the lovely Clementine joins in on vocals on one number. Titles include "Good Foot", "Little Sherry", "New York State Of Mind", "Girl Talk", "My Wife", "Straight No Chaser", "Try", and "Lately".  © 1996-2025, Dusty Groove, Inc.

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.


Used CD Grade

We only use the grade "Used CD" for non-new CDs. This all-encompassing grade was chosen it because we only buy and offer used CDs in the best possible condition.

When you purchase a used CD you can expect the disc to be free of all but the lightest of surface marks, the case to be clean (we often change the cases ourselves), and the booklet to be in good shape. Used CDs may show some signs of use, but if there are significant details or defects we will describe the item's condition (just like we do with LPs), so look for notes on cutout marks, stickers, promo stamps or other details before ordering.

All of our used CDs are guaranteed to play without skipping or flaws. After you receive a used CD from Dusty Groove, you have 1 week to play it to determine that it plays correctly. If it does not, you can request a return for a full refund.
