Why Pay More? JOHNNY GRIFFIN The Congregation NEW VINYL LP Andy Warhol Cover Art

Description: PLEASE NOTE that at this time, the post office is VERY VERY slow and if you need this by a specific time, you'll need to select Priority Mail or it may take a couple weeks or longer to get there. I know it's more expensive, but it's the only way to insure a quick delivery... WHY PAY MORE! See Below** JOHNNY GRFFIN THE CONGREGATION Blue Note 1580 New Reissue With Cover art by Andy Warhol! Known for Griffin's remarkable tenor saxophone work, this album showcases his fiery technique and expressive improvisation.This album is an excellent example of hard bop, with Griffin delivering high-energy solos and deeply lyrical interpretations of ballads. Sonny Clark's piano playing and Paul Chambers' bass work complement Griffin's intense style, while Kenny Dennis provides dynamic, swinging rhythms. The Congregation was originally released in 1957 and is part of Blue Note's legendary catalog, which helped define the sound of hard bop. This is a new repressing of the album. It is a single 33 rpm album and NOT the outrageously priced 2LP 45 rpm version. You can actually enjoy the album without having to turn it over or change the album every 7 minutes... TRACK LIST: The Congregation A soulful, gospel-inspired track that sets the album's tone. Griffin's use of call-and-response phrasing evokes the energy of a church service, showing his deep roots in African American musical traditions. Latin QuarterA rhythmically intricate tune with a touch of Afro-Cuban influence. Griffin's lines are melodic yet daring, with Sonny Clark adding percussive flair on the piano. I’m Glad There Is YouA heartfelt ballad showcasing Griffin's sensitive side. His tone is lush, with every note carefully shaped to emphasize the song's romantic quality. Main SpringA high-energy bop number that allows the quartet to stretch out. Griffin's rapid runs are precise and exhilarating, highlighting his unparalleled technical skills. It’s You or No One A bright and swinging standard, interpreted with Griffin's signature blend of lyricism and agility. Personnel: Johnny Griffin: His tone is vibrant and his articulation crisp, even on the fastest passages. This album solidifies him as one of the premier tenor saxophonists of the era. Sonny Clark: His piano accompaniment is rhythmically dynamic and harmonically inventive, adding depth to every track. Paul Chambers: A legend in his own right, Chambers' bass lines are fluid and supportive, grounding the music with warmth and groove. Kenny Dennis: A lesser-known drummer, Dennis provides steady, swinging support throughout the session, driving the energy without overpowering the soloists.

UNLESS STATED, most of the audio equipment and music I sell comes from my personal collection or stuff I've purchased but never got around to using. I am pretty picky about what I own so if it was good enough for me, you'll most likely be ecstatic with your purchase. I don't like surprises when I buy things from auctions any more than you do. I promise everything I know about this item is in this description. To see any of the other items I have for sale, click on SEE OTHER ITEMS near the top of the page right. And if you have any requests, by all means, send me an email; if I have it, I'll list it right away for you (no off eBay sales...) For over a decade, I have sold tens of thousands of items on eBay and have only received a handful of complaints about the accuracy in my descriptions. Having met eBay standards for excellence in trading, you may bid with confidence knowing you will get what you THINK you are bidding on! Please check my feedback. It is a record I am very proud of...

Please do not ask to have it sent to an alternate location as I won't be able to comply per eBay policy. See below.. Why Are My Shipping & Handling Costs a Bit Higher than Other Sellers? Please Read on... GUARANTEED DELIVERY OR YOUR MONEY BACK! I really DO CARE about when and how your product gets to you. Because the post office is so incredibly inept, I ONLY SHIP domestic packages INSURED, which is AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDED in the shipping cost, and that is not free as the post office charges for it. If your parcel gets lost OR damaged in freight, your item will be replaced if one is available OR you will be completely refunded! IMPORTANT MONEY SAVING TIP! If you are buying more than one of my items and would like to SAVE MONEY by COMBINING SHIPPING costs, I will be happy to do so, but eBay has now made it more difficult to get discounts by confusing people with "Buy it Now" and "Add to Cart" options on non-auction style pages. If you are buying one item from a seller use the Buy it Now. BUT IF YOU WANT COMBINED or FREE SHIPPING, DO NOT USE THE BUY IT NOW button! Instead, select ADD TO CART. Then use your BACK button on your browser and select the other items you want that qualify using ADD TO CART each time. When you are finished, look for the shopping cart icon at the top right corner of your eBay page and click on it. Find the blue button which reads COMMIT TO BUY & SEND REQUEST. Once done, the items will be held and I will create a single invoice with either combined or free shipping. NOTE: I cannot retroactively go back and combine items that are not purchased in this manner so PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. Once you receive your invoice, payment is expected promptly! All of the payment info you need will be listed including multiple shipment options. Since I am a legitimate business, California deliveries will require sales tax. PAYMENT OPTIONS:I accept Credit Cards, eChecks and electronic transfers with .Unfortunately, direct bank transfers are not offered due to cost and security concerns.As I reside in the USA, all payments must be made in US Dollars & Cents. SHIPPING ADDRESSES: IMPORTANT!! I can ONLY SHIP to the address as noted in PAYPAL'S "TRANSACTION DETAILS". If you want it shipped to an alternate location, you will need to register that address BEFORE paying or it will be shipped to the registered address. SHIPPING COSTS: Shipping costs will be determined by weight & destination! You may click on the SHIPPING & PAYMENT tab found at the top of the page, just under the item's picture for all shipping options to all destinations both domestic and international. There you will find drop down boxes for your location and you can then use the shipping calculator to determine the correct cost for where you live. REALLY, REALLY IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT SHIPPING TIMES: I have no control over the US Post Office. I get the items packed and shipped within the prescribed time and all packages are picked up by my mail carrier. What happens after that is beyond my control... International deliveries usually arrive within 1-2 weeks but CAN take up to a month! Faster shipping is available on request, but expensive.Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. You can check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. Finally, we do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts"; it is illegal and immoral. Questions? Ask and I'll try to answer...
