Description
This Auction is for The Complete Verve Recordings Of The Buddy De Franco Quartet/Quintet With Sonny Clark- 5 LP Box Set Limited Edition of 7,500 (Out of Print) in Excellent/Mint Condition.
Clarinetist Buddy DeFranco recorded extensively for Norgran and Verve during 1953-1958. For a little over a year, Sonny Clark was his regular pianist and all of their small-group recordings have been reissued on this limited-edition five-LP set. With bassist Eugene Wright (a couple years before he joined The Dave Brubeck Quartet) and drummer Bobby White completing the quartet, and guitarist Tal Farlow making the group a quintet on its final 11 numbers, Defranco had one of his strongest bands. The majority of the 39 selections on the typically attractive Mosaic box are standards or based on a familiar tune's chord changes. Buddy Defranco had no real competitors (other than Benny Goodman) during the era, while Sonny Clark was one of the most talented of the Bud Powell-influenced pianists; they made for a mutually inspiring team.
Along with five audiophile vinyl records, this set includes a 12-page booklet with commentary and music analysis by Ira Gitler and Nat Hentoff as well as photos from the original sessions and elsewhere.
A great opportunity to own such a rare, out-of-print LIMITED EDITION LP COLLECTION.
