The record
Year/Genre: 1958 / Jazz
Matrix #: MGVS 6054
Condition: VG+, sounds amazingly good, looks good
Cultural Facts:
-
Recorded in 1958, this session brought together swing-era giants at a time when bebop and hard bop had already reshaped jazz, making the album feel like a quiet assertion that lyrical, song-centered playing still mattered.
-
Lester Young’s fragile health and softened tone give the record a reflective quality—less about virtuoso competition and more about conversation, restraint, and lived experience.
-
The title captures the emotional undercurrent of many late-career jazz recordings from this era: musicians navigating aging, changing tastes, and personal hardship while continuing to create deeply human work.
Price Suggestions:
NM: $30–36
VG+: $24–29
VG: $16–20
G+: $10–12

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
