Jimmy Smith's House Party
Blue Note BST 84002 BLP 4002
Vinyl is beautiful, excellent condition, nearly like new.
There is a piece of shrink missing from front and a small tear on top edge but it is still nicely in place. Very clean edges and corners. See pictures. They don't come around often like this. Actually, it looks better than the picture; the shrinkwrap makes it hard to get a good picture of how nice it is.
Recorded at Manhattan Towers Hotel Ballroom. New York City
The Manhattan Towers hotel had a ballroom which Rudy Van Gelder used as a recording studio for sessions in 1957-1958 (when he was still using his parents' Hackensack, N.J. home to record for Blue note). Van Gelder used the Manahattan Towers ballroom for larger ensembles that would not fit in his parent's living room or when it was simply more convenient to record the artists involved in NYC rather than Hackensack.
August 25, 1957 (tracks B1 & B2) & February 25, 1958 (tracks A1 & A2).
This is the blue/black Blue Note Liberty/UA label pressing released in 1970.
With Tina Brooks, Art Blakey, Kenny Burrell, Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Lou Donaldson, George Coleman, Donald Bailey and Eddie McFadden
