I have loved this session ever since buying the CD over 10 years ago. Took me several years of looking but I managed to snag a white label, DG of this, in legitimate VG+ condition (just played it last night – actually seemed quieter than I had remembered – usually the other way around) and paid no more than $40. I tend to stay away from anything described as VG or bid way, way low.

This is great for buyers: if they have enough patience they can score a DeFranco Mosaic for $65. Not so great if you consider your collection part of your 401k. I’m only happy that great records can still be had for reasonable prices, and thats the reason I keep coming back to ebay. Al Cohn for $10? Drop your needle on that platter and listen to those cats play Lady is a Tramp. Magic baby. Pure magic.
