Jazz Vinyl Countdown: Lee Konitz on Storyville
Oct 15, 2009 The Great Jazz Vinyl Countdown
I have a feeling I may regret this one: It’s more an emotional decision than a rational one. This is the record: Lee Konitz Jazz at Storyville, Storyville Records PA 6002. I’ve had this in my collection for years and it was one of those that got lost in the shuffle. I’ve had it so long, I always assumed it was an original pressing. So I was going through my records the other day and came across this one and decided to check it out. To my surprise, my copy is not an original. It is a Japanese pressing. Hmmm. Anyway, I was disappointed and I put the record on and it sounds good and Konitz’s playing is terrific, but I think I’m letting this one go. Everytime I look at it I’ll be reminded of my disappointment. No one ever said jazz collectors were rational.

terrific music. keep it, unless you have the 2 corresponding Storyville 10″ albums. THere is a third Storyville 10 incher which was never on 12″. I have no data at hand right now.
I did away with my Japanese 12 incher, but am sticking to my 3 10 inchers. Ronnie Ball is a gas too.
