I think eBay can be a great place for money laundering ….

Wow-the seller that sold the Jackie McLean got someone to bite on the JUJU for “only” $450. That’s quite a price for a 1-shot image of the cover-so much for “the more info,the better” school. Good news for a seller(which I’m not),not such good news for a potential buyer(which I am). I guess a mono Liberty will have to suffice..if I can find one.

hereinabove I named it “Four tenors”, after Four Altos, also on Prestige. But, of course, the real title is “Tenor Conclave”.

Don’t forget “Tenor Conclave” with Mobley, Trane, Cohn and Sims. Prestige 7074

bill: you made my day. A total of four albums with these giants together is not a bad harvest.
Michel: the two Mobley sessions for Prestige were recorded July 20 and 27, 1956. What a fruitful period! And Doug Watkins is impressive too, beautifully recorded by RvG. Strange omission of this biograph.

By the way, i’d say that the two MObleys on Prestige are fine record, often overlooked (and even forgotten by his biograph !) regarding his Blue Note output.

I have to weigh in with everyone else, Informal Jazz is an amazing session. I have Four Tenors but I find it doesn’t measure up to Informal Jazz. I would put this in my top 5 favorite prestige sessions easy.

Coltrane Mobley and Byrd are divine on this session.
