Description

Joe Alexander Quintet "Blue Jubilee" 1960, Mono, JLP 23

VERY RARE Jazzland Recording, June 20, 1960, Orange Label

One of the small number of excellent recordings made on the Riverside subsidiary, Jazzland Records. Featured musicians in Alexander's quintet include John Hunt, flugelhorn;
Bobby Timmons, piano; Sam Jones, bass; and Albert Heath, drums. This is an early recording on the Jazzland label, which also recorded household names such as Thelonious Monk,
Wes Montgomery, and Cannonball Adderley. This record is in near mint condition, with notable features including the deep groove on the center orange label. The headliners on
this record (Alexander, in particular) may not sound familiar, but according to the cover notes, written by Riverside co-founder Orrin Keepnews, Joe Alexander and John Hunt exemplified the type
of hard-working New York musicians who, due to circumstances, were "likely to remain unfound and unfussed-over for a very long time, or possibly forever." In other words, this record is
a much-needed spotlight on New York's unsung players, making it a unique piece of the New York jazz scene puzzle.
