MEL LEWIS SEXTET

Vinyl LP. Mode/VSOP Records 18. Stereo, reissue. COVER: VG++. VINYL: VG++ light surface scratch on Side 2.

Mel Lewis (drums); Charlie Mariano (alto & tenor saxophones); Bill Holman (tenor & baritone saxophones); Jack Sheldon (trumpet); Marty Paich (piano); Buddy Clark (bass).

Mel Lewis, formerly with the Stan Kenton Orchestra (and at the time a busy West Coast studio musician), had a rare opportunity to lead a record date in 1957 when he headed this sextet session for the MODE label. With arrangements by Bob Brookmeyer, Marty Paich and Bill Holman, Lewis and his group (which features Charlie Mariano on alto and tenor, Bill Holman doubling on tenor and baritone, trumpeter Jack Sheldon, pianist Marty Paich, bassist Buddy Clark and the leader/drummer) perform originals by the three arrangers and Sheldon, in addition to the standard "You Took Advantage of Me." The enjoyable boppish music is quite colorful. ~ Scott Yanow

GRADING. Grading is visual only unless otherwise stated. I go by Goldmine standards and try to be conservative. I will play grade on certain items only - it is just impossible for me to play grade everything I put on EBAY. MINT means factory sealed, never opened or played. NM is opened but in visually brand new, out-of-the-packaging clean condition. NM- is not NM! Its a grade above VG++ and below Near Mint - it does not imply perfect. In my terminology Scratches are feeler type and Scuffs are just cosmetic and usually inaudible.

DISCLAIMER. Due to the number of frivolous returns which were unwarranted, and due to the nature of sound recorded products that can be easily copied, there will no longer be a free return policy. I will charge a $10.00 return fee for all returns - this amount will be deducted from the Paypal refund of the returned item.  If item is truly defective the entire purchase amount will be refunded as long as the item is in the same condition as it was sent.  ***BUYER PAYS FOR ALL RETURN SHIPPING FEES.***
