LENNIE NIEHAUS Vol 3 The Octet #2, RARE 1955 Jazz LP DG

Lennie Niehaus’s musicianship was phenomenally-developed and he was grounded in swing at a remarkably young age, even before he was exposed to Charlie Parker. So there is seemingly no limit on his musical ideas.

This is also a very rare collectible jazz disk with NM- sound.

The octet includes Niehaus, alto sax;; Bill Holman, tenor sax; Jimmy Giuffre, baritone sax; Stu Williamson, trumpet; Bob Enevoldsen, valve trombone; Pete Jolly, piano; Monty Budwig, bass; and Shelly Manne, drums.

The tunes are:

Side One: Blue Room, Rodgers & Hart; You and the Night and the Music, Schwartz & Dietz; Bunko, Niehaus; Love Is Here to Stay, George & Ira Gershwin; They Say It’s Wonderful, Irving Berlin; Rick’s Tricks, Niehaus.

Side Two: Rose Room, Williams & Hickman; Cooling It, Niehaus; Yes, Yes, Honey, Shanhon & Patterson; Debbie, Niehaus; Nice Work If You Can Get It, George & Ira Gershwin; Circling the Blues, Niehaus.

This monophonic recording, “Lennie Niehaus, Vol. 3: The Octet, No. 2” was released on Contemporary C 3503 in 1955. The label is yellow with black printing. This is a DEEP GROOVE pressing. The heavy, stiff vinyl is characteristic of an original recording.

I play-graded this album NM-. The mono sound is excellent with no surface noise.

We actually listen to each record in our grading process, so you can be satisfied with your purchase. If you are not, please call or email me within seven days of your receipt, and the price in full will be refunded (see details under return policy).

Visually, under bright light, the vinyl still has a good shine, and there is a few minor hairline scratches, but nothing to affect the sound. I graded it NM-.

The front cover graphic is sharp. There are a few small scuffs and a little edge wear. But structurally it is solid. The back cover looks good, but shows a few age mottles. I would grade it a good VG+.

We are selling an extensive collection of carefully-selected jazz and classical music and we will be releasing albums for sale each month.
