Herbie Nichols Trio on Blue Note: The Winner Is . . .

Okay, time to announce the winner of our latest contest to give away a jazz collectible. This one is: Herbie Nichols Trio, Blue Note 1519. This is a vinyl reissue from, I think, the mid-1980s, issued by Pathe Marconi in France. The record and the cover are in M- condition and the music is mint-plus. It features Max Roach on drums, plus Al McKibbon or Teddy Kotick on bass. As always, we have one copy to give away and we are giving it to someone who has commented on the Jazz Collector site during the past two weeks. That’s how we do things: Comment on the site, be eligible to win a free collectible. This week we have 17 eligible contestants, all of whom we would like to thank for commenting on the site and all of whom we would like to encourage to continue doing so. They are:

Scott Stewart (welcome to the site), Cathy (also welcome to the site) Neil, Rudolf, Michel, Bill Thorpe, Bob Brooks, Geraint, Bethellodge, Ian Thomas, Jason Sweet, Jamie, Ceedee, Chris, Mickey, Don-Lucky, DaveS and Cathy. And so we write the names on pieces of paper . . . and crumple them up . . . and strew them around . . . and call on Mrs JC . . . and the winner is . . . Ian Thomas. Ian, congratulations on winning this LP. To collect your prize send me an email at al@jazzcollector.com with your address. We will send the record free and even pay the postage. For everyone else, stay tuned, we will be posting our next contest later today.
