Dear friends, the records available in this auction are from my personal collection built over forty years of collecting. adesso! my ebay nickname, means now, right now, immediately, instantly, at this moment. Our life is made up of moments, scanned by time. Second after second, minute after minute, hour after hour, day after day, year after year. My life has been characterized by many things and one of the most important was the music and of course the vinyl. I started collecting vinyl since I was 10 years old. And I sold my first record when I was 14 years old. From that time forward the vinyl has always had a place in my days. Just like ... now!

Bid with confidence, knowing my more than a decade history on eBay as serious, absolutely reliable and professional buyer and seller (More than 2000 positive feedback). Though there are rarely ever any problems please remember to contact with me first, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings. Thanks.

 "The music on this disc has been offered under a plethora of titles. However, regardless of how they might be presented, the fact remains that these are among 's most seminal sides during his brief stint (1952-1954) as a bandleader for Prestige. In a fit of irony, the would-be title track, "Monk's Mood," isn't among the seven originals included here. This oversight is more than made up for in regards to the definitive bop that is included. In addition to the strength of 's originals, the personnel is key to the success of these masterworks and primary examples of the bebop jazz subgenre. 's often lop-sided rhythms and seemingly atonal performance style is immeasurably strengthened by the support of his sidemen. The ten pieces featured here are taken from three sessions. Chronologically, these include 's first two recording dates -- on October 15 and December 18, 1952, respectively. The personnel for the first (October 15) includes the trio of (bass), (drums), and , while the second (December 18) features (drums). The final date in September of 1954 replaces and adds (bass). Each of the performances delineate 's uncanny ability to indelibly personalize not only his own compositions, but also the cover versions of pop standards "These Foolish Things," "Sweet & Lovely," and especially his practically indescribable touch on the piano solo rendition of "Just a Gigolo." There is quite literally no subpar material or uninspired performances on . Even tracks carried over from his prior Blue Note repertoire -- such as "Reflections" or the charmingly descriptive "Trinkle Tinkle" -- are replete with brilliant playing and sensitive interaction from the respective quintets."

OUR REFUND POLICY

WE OFFER UNCONDITIONAL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE WITHIN 7 DAYS FROM THE DAY OF THE RECEIPT OF THE MERCHANDISE, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. YOU CAN REQUEST A REFUND FOR ANY REASON WHATSOEVER WITHIN 7 DAYS OF THE RECEIPT.

The only restriction to our full money-back guarantee is one item per customer per order. In other words, if you buy, say, four items from us, you will not be allowed to return all four, but only one (no bulk refunds will be allowed), UNLESS more than one item is defective or unsuitable for use, in which case all defective or flawed items will be eligible for a full refund. .We consider "defective items" to be those having a fatal flaw making it unsuitable for use, such as:

(A) Undisclosed crack or fatal warp in the vinyl;

(B) Serious defect in manufacturing or workmanship

(C) Skipping during the playback which we did not notice, disclose or describe beforehand, or: 

(D) Undisclosed thermal (heat or sunlight) damage causing excessive surface noise. 

For the purpose of our refund policy, no other deficiencies will be defined or acceptable as "defects": the scuffs, scratches and abrasions on the CD's or vinyl's surface, if any, are ALWAYS noted and described in our auctions to the best of our ability, and they are NOT considered to be defects.

We do not know how the purchased item will sound when played by the buyer. We can only make reasonable inference on the record's condition based on its visual appearance. The bidders should be cautioned that every bid carries a risk that the purchased item will underperform, or play worse than its visual grade may indicate. In addition, some play-grading standards are utterly subjective: one man's light, tolerable surface noise is another man's unbearable, degrading clatter. 

Our grading standards are not subject to dispute or debate, either during or after the auction. Bidders who have any doubts that our grading is up to their standards should either seek clarification from us while the auction is still in progress, or refrain from bidding altogether.

The bid placed on any of our eBay auctions signifies that you have read our terms and conditions, this web page included, and that you agree with our trade terms and policies. 

We WILL inspect all returned items for any alleged defects.

For all other disputed items and claims we MAY at our sole discretion decide to grant a refund, BUT ONLY as a credit toward the buyer's next bid or purchase; Sorry, we cannot refund return postage for returned items except in cases where the returned item has a defect; only the NET amount of the bid will be returned. Still sealed items MUST be returned sealed in order to be eligible for a refund !

STILL SEALED ITEMS: In most cases we do, in fact, know for sure that still sealed album contains original, first pressings inside (where we are not sure we will so state). In many cases, we will specifically elaborate and document why we feel the still sealed album is the first pressing. However, our refund guarantee for still-sealed albums applies ONLY to those albums that are RETURNED to us as STILL SEALED.  If you have any doubt that what we have shipped you is the original, first pressing, PLEASE do NOT open the album and return it to us in the same condition it was shipped. Once opened, the deal is consummated and the album is officially yours IRRESPECTIVE of what pressing or condition you find inside. We will UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES provide refund if the buyer disingenuously claims that the sealed item contains something else inside. In essence, you can count on our good-faith appraisal of what we believe you will find inside, but – sorry – we are not clairvoyant. There is an element of risk involved in purchasing still sealed items – particularly those older than 30 years. YOU, the bidder, bear this risk solely and exclusively.
