Very well recorded stereo. Boyd a rather run-of-the-mill, modern mainstream sort of guy. Walter Bishop is excellent. I have heard better Kenny, but he does O.K.
This album is for sale as a 180 gr. re-print. It seems Boyd died in the same year as this album was made (1961) whilst on the road with Philly Joe Jones.
Al should know that the musical value of an album is by no means a yardstick for the price to be obtained at EBay.

this record has been declared as original but there is an original’s original too.
as you can read, description clearly states “black vinyl”.
there’s a really first pressing on blue vinyl, a little bit rarer.
I’ve got this.

Holy… Time for me to pull my solid blue label lp off the wall and remind myself how much money I just saved! I always thought it a decent lp,but given that it’s put together from,well,remnants… it never grabbed me like other early Byrd sessions. I heard the Boyd at a time when I had yet to appreciate Kenny Dorham’s trumpet sound,so didn’t give the date the attention it deserved. I recall Boyd’s sound as ‘hard bop Charlie Rouse’,but no more.The Curson Old Town was never a fave for me,and I think falls short of it’s promise. Dolphy’s on two(?) tracks on flute and plays very much inside,briefly as I remember it. Tears For Dolphy is THE Curson to own if you have little-besides the Mingus “Fables of Faubus” dates,of course!
I used to see Ted with his band with Nick Brignola on baritone at the Tin Palace-NYC-regularly in the 70’s..what a smokin’ band!

Are there two or three people with deep pockets bidding against each other?

It is just plain CRAZY.

I have Mingus at Antibes and Charles Mingus Presents with him but don’t remember the trumpet being stand out. Is Plenty of Horn a good listen?

Boyd doesn’t really seem to have his soloing together from my recollection and it’s not that great of a date in my opinion. However, apparently he played with Sam Rivers and Alan Dawson in Boston. Sunny Murray told me that he knew him a bit during the late ’50s/early ’60s as well, and that Boyd was “very hot” and up-and-coming then.

I will give it a try one of these grey, snowy pre-Christmas days.
