Jazz Vinyl Countdown: Lee Konitz on Storyville
I have a feeling I may regret this one: It’s more an emotional decision than a rational one. This is the record: Lee Konitz Jazz at Storyville, Storyville Records PA 6002. I’ve had this in my collection for years and it was one of those that got lost in the shuffle. I’ve had it so long, I always assumed it was an original pressing. So I was going through my records the other day and came across this one and decided to check it out. To my surprise, my copy is not an original. It is a Japanese pressing. Hmmm. Anyway, I was disappointed and I put the record on and it sounds good and Konitz’s playing is terrific, but I think I’m letting this one go. Everytime I look at it I’ll be reminded of my disappointment. No one ever said jazz collectors were rational.
terrific music. keep it, unless you have the 2 corresponding Storyville 10″ albums. THere is a third Storyville 10 incher which was never on 12″. I have no data at hand right now.
I did away with my Japanese 12 incher, but am sticking to my 3 10 inchers. Ronnie Ball is a gas too.
Are you selling the Lee Konitz Storyville 12″ LP? If so, can you please let me know the condition of album cover photo image. I’m mainly interested in the album cover photo. Thank you. Hope to hear from you soon.
Arlene, the photo on the violet 12″ cover is gorgeous indeed. But, I am afraid, I sold mine ages ago. I have just the three 10″ albums left. The first (304) has got a nice photo cover of Lee in black/white. The others are without interest. The third (323) is some sort of a statue or tomb in green, the second (313) has a picture in blue of a seacoast, unrelated to the music. All three are signed by Burt Goldblatt.
