That looks like a great collection. Thanks for the info, and good to hear that the sound quality is good. Going to look this set up now.

It's a great set Hoffius, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. :thmbsp:

PC,layin' down the knowledge once again! Yeah,Side One is a copy of the Sam Price LP,Side One-Side Two has the Bobby Freedman Group-who I know nothing about. I couldn't find much info on the lp-The Premier Albums/Spinorama Discography didn't even have it listed. Maybe you know about them too?

No sorry, I don't know about the Freedman side. I have a constant eye out for Jazztone LPs and have collected quite a few, including that Sammy Price. If you like hearing Jonah Jones in that setting, there's a great reissue that captures alot of his pre-Capitol cuts. It's on the Spanish 'Fresh Sounds' label - called JJ Special. It has 3 albums from the Swing, Vogue and Bethlehem labels. Great value with that one and easy to find.

I would also keep an eye out for an Affinity LP, it's a split 12" with Pete Brown on the B-side - called Harlem Jump And Swing. That has two Bethlehem 10"s on it, if I recall correctly. The Pete Brown stuff is awesome too, maybe even preferrable to the Jonah tunes. This isn't as easy to come by, but is usually fairly priced. Affinity was a British reissue label which dealt in vinyl.

This would be an affordable way to grab up some great Jonah Jones sides, without having to spend tons on super rare original vinyl.

Happy hunting...

Great choice TTT!! I must admit that I wouldn't have figured you for this album. Woody Shaw? Yes of course, but I didn't think you were too big on this style. Of course, this is only based on my instincts having seen your posts for some time now.
