Flying Home – Lionel Hampton & His Quartet (5LP set)

LP (Item 925080) Verve (France), Mid 50s — Condition: Very Good+
5LPs
A really beautiful pairing of musicians – the fantastic vibes of Lionel Hampton, set up in sweet small group work with Oscar Peterson on piano, Ray Brown on bass, and Buddy Rich on drums! All tracks are nice and long – and the sessions really bring out the best of all players involved – very different than Hampton's other material too.  © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.
(Includes insert.)

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.

Glad, Late 50s. Very Good-
A killer set from the great Lionel Hampton – the first issued on his own small indie label!

Lionel Hampton Quartet
Clef, Early 50s. Very Good
Great Verve material from Lionel Hampton – and like most of his sides for the label, a set that offers small combo grooving in a very stretched out setting! The album only features four long tracks – and Hampton's vibes are set up nicely with a trio that includes Oscar Peterson on ... LP, Vinyl record album

Wes Montgomery

Goin Out Of My Head
Verve, 1965. Near Mint- Gatefold
One of Wes Montgomery's grooviest albums on Verve – a set that features his smooth chromatic work on guitar set to lively arrangements from Oliver Nelson! Nelson gives the set more of a "punch" than some of Montgomery's other Verve records – and the style uses a tight brace ... LP, Vinyl record album

Wes Montgomery

Tequila
Verve, 1966. Very Good+ Gatefold
A classic from Wes Montgomery – and exactly the kind of record that made him a legend in the 60s!

LP, Vinyl record album

Oliver Nelson

Full Nelson
Verve, 1963. Near Mint- Gatefold
Excellent work from one of our favorite arrangers! Nelson was a super-hip super-soulful genius who crafted some of the best charts in the 60s. He managed to work in a great amount of jazz where other arrangers would leave things cold – and on a record like this he manages to make a large ... LP, Vinyl record album

Oscar Peterson

Night Train Vol 2
Verve, 1967. Sealed
Oscar follows up the original Night Train album – one of his most famous sessions and best selling albums! The format here is the same – Peterson working with likely suspects Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen (save for 2 tracks, which feature Herb Ellis, Brown, and Buddy Rich) – playing ...
