Soon on eBay: Tina Brooks, Elmo Hope, Bennie Green

Here’s some interesting jazz vinyl on the Jazz Collector watch list over the next few days.

Tina Brooks, True Blue, Blue Note 4041. This is an original pressing. The record is listed as M- and the cover is VG+. The price is already more than $1,000 and there are still four days to go.

Elmo Hope Quintet, Blue Note 5044. This is a nice 10-inch LP with a great cover. This one is in VG++ condition and is being offered by Euclid Records, one of the top sellers of jazz vinyl on eBay. This one is about $100 with several days still to go.

Another high-end Blue Note: Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’, Blue Note 1588. This one is not in great shape. The vinyl is listed in VG- condition, and the cover looks to be VG. The price is more than $100 now, and it has not yet reached the seller’s reserve.

The Return of Art Pepper, Jazz West 10. This is an original pressing. The vinyl is listed as VG++ and the

cover is listed as VG. The current price is around $100, and there is still more than a day to go.

Bennie Green With Art Farmer, Prestige 7041. This is an original New York yellow label in M- condition for both the record and the vinyl. The current price is about $100, with a few days left. I have a bit of an affinity for this record. I was browsing the 25-cent bin at one of the local record stores, and there was an original copy of this record sitting there. The cover was not great, but the vinyl was in nice ship. How do you like that: An original Prestige for a quarter? The thing is, this was bout 10 years ago and I still haven’t listened to the record. Maybe this week I put it on the turntable. It’s one of the hazards of having a collection that grows too large, too quickly. Lots of music never receives a good listen.
