Jimmy Witherspoon- At The Monterey Jazz Festival-LP

Jimmy Witherspoon – At The Monterey Jazz Festival

At The Monterey Jazz Festival documents Jimmy Witherspoon in a setting that connects blues feeling with a serious jazz-stage cast. The performance featured a heavyweight ensemble, with Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster on tenor sax, Roy Eldridge on trumpet, Earl Hines on piano, and Mel Lewis on drums. That lineup is a big part of the appeal here: it frames Witherspoon’s blues-rooted material alongside players central to swing and mainstream jazz history. This copy is a 1959 mono vinyl pressing, a nice period format for a Monterey Jazz Festival-era jazz and blues record. The record is graded VG+, so expect a solid everyday listening copy with a few light lines, sleeve marks, or small scuffs possible, but not wear that should dominate the music. At $10, this is an affordable Jimmy Witherspoon vinyl copy with strong personnel appeal and very approachable condition.

Sound samples are included to help you get a feel for the music, but they may not always match the exact pressing or track version of the record listed. When in doubt, trust the photos and pressing information - that's the actual record you're buying.
