Setting the stage:

I started to “build a record collection” of sorts about 20 years ago. I was motivated to buy vinyl because of a record player I received as a gift. What I quickly found out was that the vinyl records market is very dense and convoluted. Despite my love for music and all of its versatility, I didn’t have much direction. I simply bought what I liked to listen to, and I ended up with a “collection” of original records (i.e. first pressing) and reissues. Some purchases were of new records and some purchases were of used records, but for the last 20 years or so (subject to release date), all of the records I am offering have been in my possession. In total, I’ve accumulated just over 100 records for my “record collection”. Ultimately, these records have been collecting dust sitting on my shelves. I’ve opened and unwrapped some of the records and others are as is. Have I listened to them all? No way. I would estimate I’ve listened to about 25 of the records and some of them even a few times. Any of these records can become part of your collection now. I will be posting them in batches because compiling a discography, cataloging, and photographing all these records has been much more difficult than buying them and enjoying them. By now you can probably tell I’m not very technical with the record jargon. I’ve dedicated an immense amount of time to compiling the most accurate information to provide you about the records I am offering. I believe all of the records are in good condition at a minimum. I purchased them all from reputable record stores and not at garage sales or flea markets. That being said, I am happy to answer questions on the higher dollar items ($50+), I won’t take pictures and fulfill a bunch of random requests for the low dollar items, I just don’t have the bandwidth. In the end, I believe you will be very satisfied with your purchase. Please make sure and check out my other lots, there will certainly be something up your alley. I have priced all the items to reflect their current condition. If you disagree with my assessments please do not make the purchase. All sales items are final and I will not accept returns. Now onto the good stuff…

Stan Getz :

Stan Getz, the American tenor saxophonist known as “The Sound,” was one of the most lyrical and emotive voices in jazz history. With a smooth tone and effortless phrasing, Getz rose to fame through cool jazz and bebop, but became a household name when he helped bring the bossa nova movement to international audiences in the 1960s. His collaborations with João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim resulted in some of the most iconic jazz recordings of all time. Astrud Gilberto, known for her delicate, breathy vocals, was an essential figure in bossa nova’s rise in popularity. Her debut performance on The Girl from Ipanema instantly made her a global star. When she teamed up with Stan Getz live in the early ’60s, their chemistry brought an exotic blend of Brazilian rhythm and American jazz sophistication that still feels timeless today.

Getz Au Go Go (Live 1964) :

Getz Au Go Go captures an intimate, live performance recorded at Café Au Go Go in Greenwich Village on August 19, 1964. This wasn’t just a gig, it was a defining moment in the jazz-bossa movement. With Astrud Gilberto’s whispery vocals floating over Getz’s silky saxophone, and a band that included legends like Gary Burton and Chuck Israels, the recording delivers bossa nova at its peak energy and emotion, yet with delicate subtlety. This 2010 ORG reissue elevates the original Verve recording to audiophile standards. Remastered by Bernie Grundman and pressed at 45 RPM across two heavyweight 180g LPs, it delivers unparalleled warmth, space, and clarity. With standout tracks like Corcovado, One Note Samba, The Telephone Song, and Here’s That Rainy Day, this edition is widely considered one of the best ways to experience this iconic session.
