The Sonny Clark record, Sonny Clark, Cool Struttin’, Blue Note 1588, which turns out not to have been an original pressingdidn’t get much action after we wrote our post, perhaps due to the observant eyes of our loyal readers. It wound up selling for $2,325, still higher than the original pressing from the Jazz Record Center that sold earlier, but not totally out of whack for a second pressing of Cool Struttin’. This one was from a few weeks back, but it was also sitting on my watch list: Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan, Peckin’ Time, Blue Note 1574. This looked to be an original pressing, with the record in M- condition and the cover probably VG++. The final price was $4,005.

A few Bill Evans notes before we go. My wife and daughter simultaneously sent me a link to this story called “Broken Time” from Believer Magazine. It uses the Bill Evans tune Nardis as an entry point into talking about Evans’ life and music. I think you’ll like it. Separately, The Lovely Mrs. JC and I were searching on Amazon Prime for movies to watch last night and came upon the documentary Bill Evans Time Remembered. Somehow, I missed this as it was making the film festival circuit, where it seems to have won a number of words, deservedly so. Terrific piece of work, affirming and terribly sad and poignant all at the time, pretty much like Evans’ music I would say. Definitely worth your time.
