Description

James Tatum's stunning, spiritualised Contemporary Jazz Mass is one of the only true jazz masses ever released. Inspired by Duke Ellington's Sacred Concerts, Tatum's masterwork was recorded on its first ever performance at St Cecilia Church in Detroit, and released on his own private label in 1974.


The cover is still in the original shrink. The vinyl is like new, barely played!

Grading:

We use Goldmine grading scale for our records


Mint: Record is in perfect condition.


NM or “near mint”: Record is in almost perfect condition, shiny with no visible defects, no writing, no surface noise when played, free of creases or ring wear.


VG+ or "very good plus": may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or scratches that do not effect sound when played. Minor signs of handling, very light ring wear or discoloration. 


VG or “very good”: Obvious flaws, lack original gloss, groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches that are deep enough to feel with a fingernail. Surface noise and some scratches will be audible, but will not overpower the music otherwise.


G/G+/VG- or, “good, good plus, very good minus”: Record will still play through without skipping, significant surface noise and groove wear, label is worn, significant ring wear, writing, damage caused by stickers or tape. 


P/F or “poor/fair”: Record is cracked, warped, or skip when tried to be played.
