    • DESCRIPTION: WOW! Here’s a real treat. FANTASTIC PRIVATE- or CUSTOM-PRESS HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ LP, FEATURING THEN-HIGH SCHOOLERS EVERETTE HARP (sax) and HERMAN MATTHEWS (drums) performing with their high school jazz ensemble! This likely is almost certainly the debut recording of both future stars. Both are widely recorded – Harp routinely makes top critics and listeners polls, and I believe continues to record under contract with Blue Note. And both are OUTSTANDING here – not hard to predict these guys would make it later as pros. Plus others on the disc are now well-recorded - I did an internet search for three soloists on the disc, just for a sample - keyboardist Mike Rojas, saxophonist Warren Sneed and trombonist Sal Gonzales - and all three come up often as currently recording pros (in fact, Sneed now is the Director of the HSPVA Jazz Ensemble). And the band itself - surprisingly professional-sounding with challenging arrangements, directed by legendary jazz educator, Dr. Robert Morgan. And as an added bonus, top pro saxophonists DON MENZA and JOHN PARK join the band on a couple tracks as featured soloists - Park does a beautiful rendition of "My Old Flame", and Menza COOKS on his FUNKY LATINESQUE original ("Samba de Rollins") which is a no-brainer for SAMPLING! Also includes a BURINING up-tempo funky Latin-flavored rendition of Horace Silver’s "Nica’s Dream" (Park solos here on piccolo). AN ABSOULTE GEM!

    • VINYL: NM-
    • COVER: Front and Back: VG++ Has clean small (less than 1") seam split middle bottom
    • LABELS: NM

      • LP GRADING GUIDELINES

    • Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description.
    • Please note I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
    • Please note my VG and G grades for vinyl generally are BETTER THAN GOLDMINE'S
    • Flaws for ALL covers graded VG or less, and labels graded VG+ or less, are noted in the description.
    • Vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
    • Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
    • Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, G+) are used, as applicable.

    • MINT Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless

    • NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes

    • NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless

    • VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect minimal or very slight (at worst) surface noise in spots. Cover has very slight general wear, OR minimal wear and a couple of very minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)

    • VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots

    • VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl still shiny or very shiny, has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.

    • G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny); has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description)
