Description

This is one of those jazz collectors' Holy Grails.

Inside this 14 7/8" x 12 5/8" gilt embossed, black cloth covered, ring bound, loose leaf album are: six 12" vinyl 78 RPM records; a foldout print of an original drawing by David Stone Martin; 30 full page black & white photographs (including front & back end papers) of the participating musicians by Gjon Mili; a page containing the actual signature / autograph of Norman Granz & the limited edition number of this copy --- 565 of 5000 copies pressed.

The leaders of the sessions included in this anthology are: Duke Ellington, Neal Hefti, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins, Ralph Burns, George Handy, Charlie Parker, Willie Smith, Machito, Bud Powell.

The records: 10 of the 12 sides are MINT MINUS/VG+++ (no scratches that can be felt or heard; but several of these sides have 1 or 2 visual-only marks which do not affect play). The Charlie Parker side & the Bud Powell side are VG+/VG++ (just as clean as the others but on each of these there is 1 needle drop cluster which ticks faintly & briefly & plays right through). There is NO SPINDLE WEAR on any of these records!!!

The album cover and all internal pages are MINT MINUS!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! No rips, tears, worn or rubbed spots or damage of any kind!!!

No reserve!!!
