The post Explorations in the Jazz Collector Stratosphere first appeared on jazzcollector.com.]]> Time to clear out the watch list, starting with The Arrival of Kenny Dorham, Jaro, JAM 5007. This was an original mono pressing with the blue label and deep grooves. The record and cover were both listed in EX+ condition. The final price was about $1,248. From what I can see on Popsike, this is a new high for this record, beating the pervious top tag of $1,050. Speaking of new highs, I had to do a double-take on this one: Get Happy With Freddie Redd Trio With Guests, Nixa Jazz Today Series, NJL 19. We wrote about that a few weeks ago and the post received 59 comments (and counting). At the time of the writing the bidding was in the $460 range and there was some speculation that would end up in the $1,000 bin. How about the $4,000 bin, as in $4,377.

While we’re in the stratosphere: Sonny Clark Trio, Blue Note 1579. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing. The record was listed in VG++ condition and the cover was probably VG++ based on the pictures. The final price was $2,370. Johnny Griffin. The Congregation, Blue Note 1580. This was an original West 63rd Street pressing with the Andy Warhol cover. The record was in VG++ condition and the cover was VG+. The final price was $1,593. Wardell Gray Memorial, Volume 2, Prestige 7009. This was an original New York yellow label pressing. The record and cover were in VG+ condition. The final price was $1,246. Tommy Flanagan Overseas, Prestige 7134. This was an original New York yellow label. The record was VG+ and the cover was VG. The final price was $3,450. Whew. I’m out of breath just typing in these numbers. Must be the atmosphere pressure in the stratosphere.
