ARTWORK

Seven Vintage Jazz Vinyl LPs
Seven carefully chosen original jazz and soul-jazz LPs from the late 1950's and early 1960's. All are in excellent condition and have been cleaned by a professional conservator. Artists include jazz giants Cannonball Adderly, Sidney Bechet, Ray Charles, Milt Jackson with John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Buster Smith and Bobby Timmons. These albums were recorded on Atlantic, Blue Note and Riverside labels, widely regarded as the premier jazz labels because they featured the highest quality vinyl and recording engineering, along with superior cover graphics. Even if you don't have a working turntable, you will want to frame the covers.
