From the same seller came a batch of other nice collectibles, also at top prices, including: Rocky Boyd, Ease It, Jazz Time 001. This was an original pressing. The record looked to be M- and the cover was probably VG++. It sold for $668. I owned this record at one time but don’t recall that I ever listened to it. I wound up trading it for something not nearly as collectible. I know this record benefits from the presence of Kenny Dorham, for both musicality and collectibility. How is the record and what can we learn about Rocky Boyd?

Also:

Ted Curson, Plenty of Horn, Old Town 2003. This was another original pressing from the same seller. It was in M- condition for both the record and the cover. It sold for $628.

We were talking about The Three Sounds last week, but this record is certainly in a different category with Lou Donaldson as a leader: LD+3, Blue Note 4012. This was an original pressing that was in M- condition for the record and probably VG++ for the cover. It sold for $531. In fact, as I recall, I may have traded the Rocky Boyd for a copy of LD+3, so maybe I didn’t do so badly after all.
