"Good jazz is when the leader jumps on the piano, waves his arms, and yells. Fine jazz is when a tenorman lifts his foot in the air. Great jazz is when he heaves a piercing note for 32 bars and collapses on his hands and knees. A pure genius of jazz is manifested when he and the rest of the orchestra runaround the room while the rhythm section grimaces and dances around their instruments." --- Charles Mingus definitive theoretical thesis about jazz
We stock 10 inch 78s, 7 inch 45s, and 10 &12 inch 33s. Most covers are in good to better condition and the vinyl will vary from Good to Mint. Prices are adjusted for grading. Since the introduction of the Long-Playing (LP) microgroove recording technology in 1950 by Columbia, fidelity and playing time increased to the point that many LPs had twenty minutes of music per side, a far cry from the three minutes of the older 78.
