PETE BROWN

FROM THE HEART

VERVE

PART OF AN EXTENSIVE RARE COLLECTION FROM A RECORD COMPANY EXECUTIVE - SEE THE EXTRA INFORMATION PARAGRAPH BELOW

 

  Label:  VERVE Number:  MGV - 8365 Year:  1959 Vinyl Condition:  EXCELLENT  very minor, minimal scuffs and surface scratches.  I have played this LP, a few seconds per track, and there were no skips.  There are very few pops.  I was very impressed, in fact if I collected jazz rather than blues, this LP would not be listed.  The sound is extremely decent, especially for an Lp of this age.  See the picture below as well. Label Condition:  EXCELLENT PLUS  no spindle marks, super clean, may have not been played by the looks of the label. Cover Condition:   VERY GOOD  there is a 5.5" split at the top and the original price sticker, otherwise the cover is in excellent shape.   Tracks: SIDE ONE: CHEROKEE SOMETIMES I'M HAPPY BODY AND SOUL AVALON SIDE TWO: BUT NOT FOR ME BLUES FOR LESLIE IT ALL DEPENDS ON YOU TROUBLE IN MIND     REVIEW: Pete Brown had an unusual and distinctive swing-based style that sometimes used staccato phrases that were speech-like. Starting originally on piano and also for a time doubling on trumpet, Pete Brown's main ax was the alto by the time he came to New York in 1927 with Bernie Robinson's band. Brown worked many short-time engagements with obscure bandleaders in New York but, starting in the mid-'30s, he often teamed up on excellent records with the underrated trumpeter Frankie Newton. They were both members of the early version of John Kirby's small group in 1937 before departing. Brown worked steadily throughout the late '30s and '40s, often on 52nd Street and sometimes as a bandleader. However, the rise of bop in the mid-'40s resulted in him being neglected and ill health led to him being only semi-active in the 1950s. Brown's recorded appearance at the 1957 Newport Jazz Festival found him past his prime and being completely overshadowed by Coleman Hawkins and Roy Eldridge. It is best to search out Pete Brown's many sideman appearances on records from the late '30s, particularly a Newton session from 1939 with James P. Johnson.        EXTRA INFORMATION:         I am listing a very extensive collection of over a thousand 33 RPM LP's.  These records were obtained from a fellow who was a record company excecutive 30 years ago.  Ninty percent of the vinyl in this collection is mint to near mint.  Many have had the celophane removed, but have never touched a needle - virgin vinyl.  I realize the magnitude of what mint means, but many of the records to be listed are better than near mint, so please forgive the terminology in that regard.          Included in this collection are many audiophile records, picture discs,  promotional records, sealed records and other pieces that were only available to those inside the business.  If you are seeking anything in particular, let me know and we will endeavour to find it and list it sooner than later.   Please email if you have any questions well in advance of bidding.  Due to the rarity of these albums I would strongly suggest to not wait until the last minute to bid.  Don't risk getting shut out!        S/H is the actual postal rate, quoted from the post office plus $1.50 handling.  Records will be shipped boarded between cardboard.  Multiple record wins will be shipped boxed.    See the other LP's I have listed on eBay at the same time and save on shipping.   Please note that Canada does not have a media mail rate.  Good luck in your bidding.     PLEASE SEE MY OTHER AUCTIONS AND SAVE ON SHIPPING    

*** A $1.50 U.S.D. handling fee is now applicable on each auctions to help with the costs for strong boxes, bubble wrap, bubble envelopes, etc.

 Please feel free to email me if you have any questions. Winning bidder is to pay for shipping and handling as noted above. Money orders and cash are appreciated, but checks are acceptable upon clearance from my bank.

For online payment, I now accept Pay Pal.  If you pay through Pay Pal, due to the conversion of funds associated with Pay Pal, please add $1 if the total, including shipping is under $20.  If your total is over $20, please add $2 to your total, overseas add $3 - this is not the Pay Pal fee that I pay -  this is for the conversion of funds from USD to CAD, and as per eBay rules, I am allowed to pass this onto the buyer.  This is allowed by eBay rules and is only a partial compensation.  Please see my "me" page for further information.  Good luck in your bidding.
