just listing it as the Cafe Bohemia and not “featuring Cannonball,” , just figuring that Savoy would have tried to capitalize later on Cannonball’s growing fame and success. However, the other one feels more like an original cover because there’s no white background and it just seems older. Under normal circumstances, I’d keep that one regardless — it’s a much cooler picture, with Paul Chambers in his undershirt, everyone surrounding Kenny Clarke, Horace Silver in a striped polo shirt. My dilemma is that my copy of that cover is not in very good shape. It has a couple of bad tape repairs and a name written on the back. What to do, what to do? Well, there’s no rush on this Great Jazz Countdown of mine, so I’m going to sleep on it for a day or so and then make a decision. Or not. How’s that for ambivalence?

Also entering the $1,000 bin is Dizzy Reece, Blues in Trinity, Blue Note 4006. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing that was in M- condition, both record and cover. It sold for $1,595.

John Jenkins with Kenny Burrell, Blue Note 1573. This was an original pressing n VG+ condition with a light scratch. The cover was listed as excellent-minus, which is, what, VG+ at best? It too is in the $1,000 bin, fetching

a price of $1,025.

Finally, not quite in the $1,000 bin is Kenny Dorham, Round Midnight at the Cafe Bohemia, Blue Note 1524. This was a Lexington Avenue pressing. The record was VG++ and the cover seemed to be about VG or VG+. It sold for $998
