Five For the Watch List

I just spent some time perusing jazz vinyl listings on eBay and, my, I was able to fill up my watch list quickly. Here are some of the items, starting with: Pepper Adams, Donald Byrd, et al, Motor City Scene, Bethlehem 6056.  This is a rare one you don’t see very often. In fact, I don’t recall ever seeing a copy of this record in any store or any collection. This one is in VG+ condition for the record and VG for the cover. It closes in a couple of hours and the bidding is at $450.

 The Return of Art Pepper, Jazz West JWLP 10. This looks to be an original pressing in VG+ condition for the record and probably VG or a little better for the cover, based on the seller’s description. It also closes today and the bidding is in the low $200 range.

Temptation is back: Freddie Redd, Shades of Redd, Blue Note 4045. This looks to be an original pressing listed in Ex condition for the record and VG++ for the cover. There are two days to go and the bidding is in the $250 range. Father’s Day is in a few weeks. Hmmm.

Zoot Sims Quartets, Prestige 7026. This is another one you don’t see too often. It looks to be an original New York yellow label pressing. The record and cover are listed in VG++ condition. The start price is in the $200 range and, so far, there are no bidders with two days to go.

Speaking of female jazz musicians, as we were a few days ago: Jutta Hipp Quintet, Blue Note 5056. This is an original 10-inch pressing in M- condition for the record and VG++ for the cover. Looks like a beauty and it will surely get top dollar. Bidding is already at $500 and there are more than three days to go.
