Description
Tenor Madness, Prestige LP 7047 is one of the classic modern jazz tenor saxophone records, as it contains the only recorded performance of tenor giants Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane, done at Rudy Van Gelder's studio in Hackensack, N. J., on May 24, 1956. It reveals is that both men were powerhouses on their horns, and that they had distinctive, complementary styles. It's not a tenor battle, more of a tenor conversation. The remainder of the album is Sonny with his quartet of pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The playing all the way through is remarkable, and Rudy Van Gelder's recording captures the sound perfectly. The LP has a real "you are there" feel to it. A bonus is that this LP was once owned by tenor saxophonist Dave Hubbard, a Baltimore native who played with some top people, among them organist Dr. Lonnie Smith plus a short stint with the great Ray Charles. He made 2 albums as a leader, and I've enclosed a track below from the one on Mainstream Records, titled "Dave Hubbard" and featuring the A-1 pianist Albert Dailey. Of course, this info doesn't change the quality of the LP up for auction here, but, to me, anyway, it's interesting.

Despite being a 2nd edition, this jacket is the original, with the 447 W. 50th Street address at the bottom. The jacket still has a very nice luster, with very small dings at two corners. There is some shelf wear, giving the cover a slightly beige tinge, which still looks cool, but isn't 'like new'. Vinyl: VG+/VG: Has good luster on both sides. Mostly plays with little noise, just some light crackle here and there and a few pops as well. None of this really interferes with the listening experience. Labels in good shape, Bergenfield, NJ address on both sides, deep groove both sides, and RVG etched by hand in dead wax. This could possible be a first pressing, depending on how many sold from initial 1956 pressing, but clearly a second edition. Cleaned on a VPI record cleaning machine. All in all, a very nice jazz artifact that should please all but the most picky of listeners.
