A New Trio For the JAzz Collector Price Guide
Here are a few more records we were watching on eBay:
Teddy Charles, Coolin’, New Jazz 8216. This was an original promo copy with the purple label and the deep grooves. I thought I was familiar with every record in the New Jazz catalog, but apparently not. Never seen this one in real life. This was in VG+ condition for both the record and the cover and it sold for $361.56.
This one wound up selling the second time around: Art Farmer, Art, Argo 678. This was an original pressing listed in M- condition for the record and VG++ for the cover. There was one bid and it sold for $109.99.
Gil Melle, Quadrama, Prestige 7097. This was an original New York yellow label pressing. The record was in VG++ condition and the cover was VG+. The price was $114.50. Would this record be worth anything if it weren’t on the Prestige label? I’ve owned it for nearly 30 years and I don’t think I’ve ever listened to it. Perhaps next time I’m in New York I’ll put it on the turntable. Is it worth the time and effort?
The Melle side is good, inoffensive, Coolish
Baritone led. I quite like it, but it would soon send one to zzzzzzz.
It won’t change the way you think about music but worth a spin, I take it you didn’t shell out 114 bucks for it? !
Gill Melle’s Primitive Modern on prestige is far better!
it features a tune ‘Iron Works’ which is fantastic.

Shame about that Marzette Watts that sonpau67 has on offer – a beautiful cover nearly obliterated by brown tape.
That Teddy Charles cover is one of my all-time favorites; it’s a beauty to behold in person. I was lucky to pick up a NM copy several years back.
I had a NM copy of Coolin and sold it. I do regret that…
