Description
TEO MACERO CHARLES MINGUS DEBUT DLP 6 10” LP WITH LENNY DiJAY, LOU LABELLO AND EDDIE SHAUGHNESSY—DEBUT RECORDS PRESENTS EXPLORATIONS. VINYL IS A STUNNING NM! FLAT EDGE, DEEP GROOVE, VERY THICK AND HEAVY, BEAUTIFUL RICH FULL LUSTER AND SHEEN WHICH IS MIRROR LIKE AND LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE YESTERDAY INSTEAD OF OVER 50 YEARS AGO. FINE VIVID FIDELITY WHICH IS CLEAN AND VERY DETAILED. ONE OF THE GREAT EARLY EXPERIMENTAL SESSIONS OF JAZZ HISTORY. TEO MACERO AT THE TIME WAS AN UNKNOWN TENOR SAX PLAYER WHOM MINGUS THOUGHT HAD A VERY UNIQUE STYLE OF PLAYING; HENCE THIS LP CAME INTO BEING. IT WAS PRODUCED, ARRANGED AND DESIGNED PERSONALLY BY MINGUS, HIMSELF. COVER NM- VERY THICK AND HEAVY, KAKUBUCHI FRAME LINES WITH JUST SLIGHT EDGE WEAR. THIS LEGENDARY COVER WAS COMMISSIONED BY MINGUS FOR THIS LP TO BE CREATED BY THE GREAT FRENCH SURREALIST GENE BILBREU. IT IS A MAGNIFICENT WORK OF ART, VERY STRANGE AND OTHER WORLDLY, PRINTED IN A HIGH GLOSS, VERY DEEP RICH TEXTURED RED AND BLACK. ONE OF THE CLASSIC COVERS OF 1950’S MODERN JAZZ AND ALBUM ILLUSTRATION FEATURED IN THE BOOK “JAZZ ART”. IT IS INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT TEO MACERO WOULD NOT BECOME WORLD FAMOUS BECAUSE OF HIS FINE MUSICIANSHIP, BUT RATHER AS THE PRODUCER OF ALL OF MILES DAVIS’ MASTERWORKS FOR COLUMBIA RECORDS. LIFE IS INTERESTING, ISN’T IT? WHEN ONE CONSIDERS THAT THIS LP WAS SOLD FROM MINGUS’ APARTMENT BY MAIL ORDER, IT BECOMES APPARENT HOW EXTRODINARILY RARE A FIRST ISSUE OF THIS LP IS—A GEM!!
NOTE: THE DEBUT COMPANY WAS INDEPENDENTLY RUN AND FOUNDED BY CHARLES MINGUS AND MAX ROACH. IT WAS ACTUALLY RUN BY MINGUS’ WIFE OUT OF THEIR APARTMENT IN NYC. MINGUS HAD SMALL RUNS MADE OF EACH LP AND WHEN HE SOLD THOSE, HE WOULD PRESS MORE. MANY DIFFERENT PRESSING PLANTS WERE USED, OFTEN SO HE COULD FIND THE BEST PRICE. WITHIN THIS SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, TODAY ONE CAN FIND FIRST ISSUE DEBUT 10” LPS THAT HAVE VERY NICE AND CLEAN FIDELITY OR SOMEWHAT MEDIOCRE FIDELITY WITH BACKGROUND NOISE WHICH WAS NOT PART OF THE ORIGINAL RECORDING BUT WAS IN FACT A BYPRODUCT OF SOME POOR VINYL USED—THE LABEL WAS HOWEVER A SINCERE AND HEROIC EFFORT BY THESE JAZZ LEGENDS IN AN ATTEMPT TO CONTROL THEIR OWN MONEY, SESSIONS, AND TYPES OF MUSIC THEY WISHED TO EXPLORE.
