Description
Here is arguably the hottest record ever made by the MILLS BLUE RHYTHM BAND: From 1931, "FUTURISTIC JUNGLEISIM." It starts torrid and the temperature only rises from there. SHELTON HEMPHILL (trumpet) makes his big statement here, with vocal encouragement. And SOMEBODY does an epic scat vocal, which rivals the one on "Horse Feathers" by Cliff Jackson and his Krazy Kats. But the WHOLE BAND is the star.
Composer Nat Leslie's "LOW DOWN ON THE BAYOU," a swell piece with some jaunty right-angle turns, is lustily played by the MBRB on the flip.
This original 1931 English Decca F. 2728 (Contemporary with the Americian Perfect) is in very nice EE- condition.
*****
These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
