Description
A superb copy of this rare and wonderful album by Bob Brookmeyer. I would rate the disc at Excellent+/ Mint- and the sleeve at Excellent. I reckon the disc has been played very rarely. It's been played once, on my Rega turntable, while in my possession to take a digital copy.
This is the information available from All Music Guide:
This session originally appeared as a Clef LP under a different title before it was reissued on Verve in 1957 as The Modernity of Bob Brookmeyer. Regardless of the title, the valve trombonist was extremely busy in the studios (as both a leader and a sideman) at this point in his career, and he prolifically turned out top-notch arrangements such as the seven tracks on this record. Accompanied by the great pianist Jimmy Rowles, bassist Buddy Clark, and drummer Mel Lewis, Brookmeyer's fluid, sassy solos carry the day in the four standards and his three creative originals. Rowles seems a tad reserved compared to his own dates as a leader, though he still swings. Almost impossible to track down, this rare LP will likely turn up only in auction lists and the occasional estate sale of a serious jazz collector.
