- DESCRIPTION: Oooh yeah! RARE KILLER PROMO-ONLY HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ LP on tiny private or custom label! By the mulit-award-winning Westbury High School Stage Band (Houston, TX). Primarily a tribute to the big-band sound of Maynard Ferguson, with other tunes popularized by the Kenton, Basie and Thad Jones-Mel Lewis bands. Performances generally quite professional (with occasional rough edges). Features SCREAMING LEAD TRUMPET and SOLOS in the upper register, performed by the band’s director, Chuck Nolen - very reminiscent of Maynard himself (in fact, he’s one of the best Maynard impersonators I’ve ever heard!). Plus, there are some FUTURE PROS among the students (notably Jeff Thomas on trombone and Don Slocomb on bari sax - both of whom are now widely recorded). And as an added bonus, there’s a bit of JAZZ-FUNK which easily could be used for sampling/mixing, and a Maynard-inspired rendition of the Beatles’ Classic, "Hey Jude" – making it a "must" for collectors of obscure Beatles covers! And lastly, it could be a nearly UNKNOWN RARITY – though the few copies that surface in the Houston area are coveted by local DJs, I can’t find it in any guides on the ‘Net! Just A TOTAL GEM – DON’T MISS OUT!

- Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description.
- Please note I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
- Please note my VG and G grades for vinyl generally are BETTER THAN GOLDMINE'S
- Flaws for ALL covers graded VG or less, and labels graded VG+ or less, are noted in the description.
- Vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.

- Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, G+) are used, as applicable.

- NM+ (Near Mint Plus) - Factory sealed with minor cover flaws, OR an otherwise mint LP recently opened by me and played in spots for demonstration purposes
- NM (Near Mint) - vinyl, cover and labels nearly flawless
