VG and below: Let’s be honest: sound quality is low and the cover may be in very poor shape.

 I only sell albums rated VG+ and above unless a record is so rare that its presence in the collection transcends

 The poor quality of the vinyl or cover, plus: In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and marks or scuffs are just cosmetic and inaudible.

History

The pianist and composer, Elmo Hope (1923-1967) was one of the most gifted and original artists of the hard bop period. He was a close childhood friend of both Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk and frequently interacted with these giants in the 1940s when the bebop innovations were being formulated and refined. Early in his professional career he served apprenticeships in various R&B bands, not emerging as a jazz recording artist until 1953. During the period 1953-1966, he performed and/or recorded with a host of jazz greats including Sonny Rollins, Clifford Brown, John Coltrane, Jackie McLean, Harold Land, Chet Baker, Frank Foster, Philly Joe Jones and served as leader on several outstanding sessions for the Blue Note, Prestige and Riverside labels. He was one of the few musicians to establish himself as an important figure of the hard bop school on both the East and West Coasts. Hope also left a substantial legacy of intriguing and memorable compositions and must be ranked highly among the many talented composers of his period including Benny Golson, Gigi Gryce, Charles Mingus, Horace Silver, Herbie Nichols, Kenny Dorham, Randy Weston and Hank Mobley.
