Harold Land Quintet, The Fox, [1960] first issue, hifijazz J612, great condition. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.    Harold Land became a mainstay of the L.A. jazz scene; he worked with many bands, including the Brown-Roach Quintet in 1954-55.  This date features one of the shadowy figures in jazz, trumpeter Dupree Bolton.  This was Bolton's only time in the spotlight, and he made the most of it, he sounds great.  The rhythm section is top drawer:  Elmo Hope on piano, Herbie Lewis on bass (making his debut on wax) and Frank Butler on drums.  Great session!
Altogether a first-class record that is a strong VG condition.  The cover is clean both sides, edges have minor wear/damage (see photos), VG.

G+ and G- are used to indicate stronger and weaker copies within this range.  Scratches are audible but record will play without skips.     GRADING SCALE - COVERS New Sealed in shrink wrap VG May have scuffs on one or both sides; contact wear on one or more seams; no seam splits.  No stains but discoloration permitted.   G More scuffs than VG; seams have more wear which may render the spine printing unreadable.  Seam splits of around 2" are permitted on any seam.  Stains are permitted.
