“Why is Quiet Kenny always the most consistently expensive Dorham LP? It seems to far eclipse, say, the Jazz Prophets LPs (Blue Note and Paramount) in price, though for my money those are more engaging statements. Just curious what others think.”

I think there’s two reasons: 1. it’s a very good Dorham date and 2. it’s rare…pretty simple! 🙂

yes, Portrait of… on Contemporary. After this one, he recorded several albums on Argo. You are right, much, much later he came back to CR. This was after the re-birth of CR. They went silent for more than a decade by the end of the sixties.

Rudolf: Is the Farmer album you are referring to “Portrait of__?” If by CR you mean Contemporary, he did several for that label.

Andrew,one purchase from Fred Cohen at JRC will make you a believer. He is one of the best in the business-a jazz lover who happens to sell records,too. RE: KD-since the number of trumpet 4tet lps are relatively few,it makes “Quiet Kenny” even more of a standout.

In my opinion (having never bought from RJC), I have a hard time understanding grading that is not Goldmine.

As a side topic speaking of Mobley did anyone see the 1568 in NM condition only go for $3000 by atomic_records? The reserve wasn’t met

the presence of J.R. make the Jazz Prophets a more interesting group, and more varied.
I always compare Quiet Kenny with the only album Art Farmer did for CR. Both are delicate and unique. Maybe that’s why they are fetching much more. Of course, a quintet (tr/ten) + rhythm is more common.

@BigBear – you misunderstood, I definitely would trust RJC to handle my credit card info confidentially. The issue I have is to transfer this info in unsecure way (email or telephone). With all the spy software and wiretapping we hear about everyday I limit my payments to Paypal(better security even though still not perfect)

Re: JRC and Paypal

I have been dealing with Fred Cohen at RJC for years, as I am sure many others on JC have as well. I truly hope noone here is afraid to provide Fred with credit card details. He is among the great gentlemen of our hobby and completely trustworthy. I suggest you call him and provide your card details once and you can do the rest via quick emails (w/o cc info) should you be the high bidder in the auctions.

Earl is absolutely right concerning flat rims on Prestige. It is a non-issue.
