·         DESCRIPTION: I’ve had an open copy so I can describe this.  RARE SEALED COPY of great private jazz LP by legendary college band! Directed by Leon Breeden.  Various jazz styles, superbly performed by this extremely professional unit.  Includes several breaks which easily could be used for sampling.  Features a whole bunch of future pros, led by Grammy Award-winning saxophonist, composer and arranger, Bob Belden (who composed three of the tunes here) and guitarist James Chirillo (Charter member of the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra directed by Gunther Schuller and David Baker, and widely recorded having performed with such notables as Wynton Marsalis, Benny Carter, Ernestine Anderson, Tiny Grimes, Benny Goodman and Buck Clayton Orchestras, Marcus Roberts, Kenny Davern, Houston Person, and many others).  Other members of the band who are now well-regarded pros include trumpeters Will Miller, Mike Steinel (now a professor at NTSU, played with Clark Terry, Don Ellis, Bill Evans, Jerry Bergonzi, Frank Mantooth, etc.) and Jim Powell (ex-Woody Herman, Mel Lewis, Buddy Rich, etc.); bassist George Anderson (not the bassist from Shakatak, but still well-recorded) and saxophonist Steve Duke (former Musical Director for Marlon Jackson of the Jackson 5; ex-Joe Williams, Ella Fitzgerald, Zoot Sims, Nelson Riddle, Rosemary Clooney, Louis Bellson, etc.).  A RARE GEM!

NOTE ON SEALED LPs:  I’ll gladly open the LP upon request of the winning bidder to check for defects or damage, and to determine if the pressing is original.   On the off-chance there are any defects/damage or the pressing is not original, then there is no obligation to purchase.  However, if this option is not chosen, I cannot be held responsible for any problems after shipping, and the item may not be returned.  Thanks for your understanding.

CONDITION: NM++ (couple tiny shrink tears and a bit of wear at top seam - See GRADING GUIDELINES below for further details)

NOTE: All LPs are professionally cleaned using the VPI HW-17 RECORD CLEANING SYSTEM and carefully inspected under a grading lamp with 120-watt bulb.

• Guidelines reflect TYPICAL factors determining grade - variations are noted in the description
• Please note: I DO NOT USE EXCELLENT (EX) as a grade.
• Flaws for ALL covers graded below VG+ are noted in the description.
• I rarely use grades below VG, and all vinyl graded VG or less is appropriately spot play-graded to assure sound quality.
• Grades below G are not listed, as I typically do not sell merchandise in such condition.
• Intermediate grades (e.g., NM-, VG/VG+, VG++) are used, as applicable.
• MINT: Factory Sealed; cover virtually flawless
• 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
• VG+ (Very Good Plus) - what many refer to as "excellent"; pretty close to NM. Full or nearly full-gloss vinyl with a few minor surface or sleeve marks; possibly one or a couple small, light scuffs or scratches (if basically inaudible) on an otherwise NM piece. Expect only slight surface noise in spots. Cover has slight general wear and/or aging, OR minimal wear/aging and a couple of minor flaws (noted as applicable in the description)
• VG (Very Good) - Vinyl still very shiny, has a few light scuffs, sleeve marks and hairline or small light scratches. Expect only slight surface noise in spots
• VG- (Very Good Minus) - Vinyl typically still shiny or very shiny (may be slight groovewear), has a few light scuffs, surface marks and/or small scratches, plus some sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect slight surface noise that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming.
• G (Good) - Vinyl typically still shiny (sometimes very shiny; may be slight groovewear), has some scuffs and some surface marks, generally a few or some light scratches, plus lots of sleeve marks and hairline scratches. Expect some surface noise throughout that's noticeable but NOT overwhelming - NO skips, sticks, heavy scuffs, deep scratches, excessive noise, or loud pops or clicks (unless noted in description)
