Cover: VG++- Graphics intact, no writing, edges in great shape ( a couple of tiny chips off the paper edges)

Record: Conservatively PLAY GRADED VG to VG+- Visually, I would have graded this VG++, but there is some soft crackling in spots as it plays. Great fidelity, remarkable trumpet, and one of the great male jazz vocalists.

WIKI: In 1949, Jackie was the first white vocalist to tour with the famous Lionel Hampton Orchestra. He remembered an occasion when he actually did 78 consecutive one-nighters with the band. When he finally got off the road, he received an offer to join Duke Ellington's Orchestra, but at that time was too exhausted to take it. For years after, Ellington's son Mercer would tell him, "You're the only guy that ever turned down my old man."

Jackie was the first singer to record Thelonious Monk's future jazz anthem "Round Midnight", which was produced by the famous critic Leonard Feather and featured a young Dick Hyman on piano.

Jackie was the only vocalist to ever tour as a regular member of the Charlie Parker Quintet. Unfortunately, no recordings exist of the Parker-Paris combination (although the "Round Midnight" session mentioned above features Parker's bassist and drummer, Tommy Potter and Roy Haynes), but there is a classic photograph of the two working together.

In 1953, Jackie was named Best New Male Vocalist of the Year in the first ever Down Beat Critics Poll. The winning female vocalist was Ella Fitzgerald, who repeatedly named Jackie as one of her favorites.

Charlie Mingus named Jackie as his favorite singer, and used him on several recording sessions over a period of many decades, including 1952's "Paris In Blue" (written expressly for Jackie) and the Mingus classic "Duke Ellington's Sound of Love," on the album Changes Two in 1974. Paris also worked extensively with the famous bassist-composer-bandleader in clubs.

Likewise, Jackie was the only singer ever endorsed by the legendary comic and 20th Century iconoclast Lenny Bruce. Bruce not only split the bill with Jackie on many occasions, he shouted Jackie's praises to all who would listen, saying "I dig his talent. The audience loves him and he gets laughs. He is toooo muccchhh!"

Other major musicians with whom Jackie recorded include Hank Jones, Charlie Shavers, Joe Wilder, Wynton Kelly, Eddie Costa, Coleman Hawkins, Bobby Scott, Max Roach, Lee Konitz, Donald Byrd, Gigi Gryce, Ralph Burns, Tony Scott, Neal Hefti, Terry Gibbs, Johnny Mandel, Oscar Pettiford, and many others.

This record is part of a collectors estate including over 100 10" LP's, (Jazz, Big Band, etc.) as well as many PROMO 12" Jazz LPS. This person took extreme care in the handling of these records, and most of the Jazz you'll see on my auction sight will be from that collection.

I will, upon request, supply the auction winner with an uncompressed ANALOG to DIGITAL archive transcription CD of this record for an additional fee of $10.00. This will be shipped with the record.

The CD fidelity is excellent, and closely matches that of the original vinyl recording. The benefit is that clicks and ticks are digitally removed resulting in a terrific audio experience that, even though you a listening to a CD you still get that “vinyl”sound while preserving your record.
