Winner receives a signed LP by 8 Dixieland Jazz legends on the back of the rare: "Bob Scobey's Band" album on its original Verve MG V-1001 label from 1956!
This was my father's album. He was the one who had it signed in person at a Bob Scobey concert and this was one of his prized possessions. He was an avid drummer and my grandfather actually filled in with many jazz stars during his lifetime, so my father usually knew someone everywhere he went. I would like a jazz-lover to win this extremely rare album, signed by the legendary trumpeter Bob Scobey, along with Clancy Hayes (who wrote the songs & also performed on this album as well), Rich Matteson, James Beebe, Brian Shanley, Dave Black and two others! The six mentioned artists' signatures are still in great crystal clear condition as you can see, the two others are signed over some of the album graphics.
You won't find anything like this rare signed record by these jazz icons anywhere again! The record itself is in VG+ overall condition. There's some normal wear you'd find to a cover and record jacket after 55 years, with a small label on the upper right-hand corner of the outside jacket. The record still has vivid luster, plays all the way through superbly, and is also in at least VG+ condition or better!

Bob Scobey (December 9, 1916 – June 12, 1963) was an American jazz musician born in Tucumcari, New Mexico. He began his career playing in dance orchestras and nightclubs in the 1930s. In 1938 he worked as second trumpeter for Lu Watters in the Yerba Buena Jazz Band. By 1949 he was leading his own band under the name Bob Scobey's Frisco Band. From 1950 the group continued to play a three year residency at the Victor & Roxie's where their popularity grew. Clancy Hayes joined the band to sing, play banjo and had his own compositions such as "Huggin' And a Chalkin'" recorded. The collaboration recorded over two hundred tracks until he left in 1959 to follow a solo career. The Frisco Band was broadcast in 1952 and 1953 on Rusty Draper's television show. In 1953 Louis Armstrong sang with them at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. From 1954 to 1957, African-American blues singer Lizzie Miles recorded and toured with the band. In 1955, Scobey and his band played dates at San Quentin Prison and at the Rancho Grande in Lafayette, California—a sizable roadhouse with a dance floor.[2] In 1957 he recorded for Verve Records and RCA Victor. From early in 1956, he toured colleges and universities, and in 1958 he recorded many of the student favorites in New York, the album College ClassicsClub Bourbon Street, Chicago. While touring in 1960, he was reportedly drinking half and halfcream to ease the pain in his stomach. Scobey died of cancer in 1963. His wife Jan produced a biography entitled He Rambled! and arranged for his band to form again and record some blues songs. She also saw to the reissuing of his albums. (RCA Victor LPM 1700). In 1959 Scobey opened the or heavy
Rich Matteson was internationally recognized as one of the most exciting jazz soloists and clinicians. A graduate of the University of Iowa, Rich had a wide and varied career as public school music teacher, professional performer, conductor, arranger, composer and university professor. He was an outstanding recording musician in every jazz idiom. Rich recorded with Louis Armstrong & The Dukes of Dixieland on tuba, college and professional big bands on bass trumpet, valve trombone and euphonium, his own small group recordings and Matteson-Phillips Tubajazz Consort albums. Rich was a professor at North Texas State University for 13 years where he taught jazz improvisation. Rich was the director of the National Stage Band Camps and Summer Jazz Camps in Sweden. He hosted the Rich Matteson Summer Jazz Camp in Colorado, served as a faculty member for the Stan Kenton Jazz Camps and was a featured guest artist at the Clark Terry Great Plains Jazz Camps.Jim Beebe has led his own regularly working band in Chicago since the mid-1970s, performing Dixieland, swing and mainstream standards. Back in 1948 when he was a teenager, Beebe heard the Jazz Ltd. band and was inspired to play trad jazz. After attending college in Wisconsin and serving in the military (where he played with the 3rd Marine Division Band), Beebe worked for three years with Bob Scobey. He was the replacement for the ailing Fred Assunto with the Dukes of Dixieland, played with the Salty Dogs and Little Brother Montgomery and went on a tour with the Stars of Jazz, an all-star group that included Art Hodes and Wild Bill Davison. A fixture in Chicago for decades, Jim Beebe recorded two albums for Delmark in 1979, one in 1996, and was a sideman on a Franz Jackson session for the label.
Dave Black, was a brilliant jazz drummer who swung with Duke Ellington's orchestra in the mid-1950s and was equally at home playing with Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Bob Scobey and Earl "Fatha" Hines. A creative percussionist who played with exemplary fire, Mr. Black was a drummer's drummer whose inventive solos inspired many younger players. They consider his dazzling solo on "Gonna Tan Your Hide" -- a tune written for him by Ellington's close associate Billy Strayhorn -- a classic. "That solo is really ahead of its time," said Steve Smith, the jazz drummer who made his name with Journey. Brian Shanley was an outstanding clarinet player and who toured with the Bob Scobey band. He was a master with an
Albert system clarinet. At one time he lived right next to Jazz Ltd. and after Scobey he worked with Clancy Hayes
and George Zack. Shanley moved to California and lived in Lodi. Shanley switched from the Boehm system to the
Albert system while he was with Scobey and the band went throught the tortures of the damned during this
transition. He was convinced that, though the Albert system was harder to play, the Albert clarinets had a bigger
sound. Shanley was widely know as fine clarinetist with a true and genuine interest and love for classic jazz.
