- John Coltrane
Real Name:
John William Coltrane
Profile:
American saxophonist and jazz composer.

Born: 23 September 1926 in Hamlet, North Carolina, USA.
Died: 17 July 1967 in Huntington, Long Island, New York, USA (aged 40).

John Coltrane was one of the most influential musicians of the twentieth century. His early recordings capture a musician in the relatively conventional confines of bebop and hardbop, but his enduring legacy primarily rests on the modal jazz pioneered by his classic quartet (1960-64) and by free jazz explorations late in his career.

He recorded more than fifty albums as a leader and appeared as a sideman on many other albums, performing with other giants of jazz like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. Coltrane received numerous awards including a posthumous "Special Citation" from the Pulitzer Prize Board in 2007 for his 'masterful improvisation, supreme musicianship and iconic centrality to the history of jazz'.

As his life progressed, his music and outlook became increasingly spiritual. After his death he was proclaimed as a saint by the African Orthodox church that took his name.

- Thelonious Monk
Real Name:
Thelonious Sphere Monk
Profile:
American jazz pianist and composer.

Born: 10 October 1917 in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, USA.
Died: 17 February 1982 in Weehawken, New Jersey, USA (aged 64).

One of the most influential pianists of the twentieth century, Thelonious Monk had a idiosyncratic improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire. He is often regarded as one of the founders of bebop. Monk's prolific compositions and improvisations are full of dissonant harmonies and angular melodic twists. His unorthodox approach to the piano combines a highly percussive attack with abrupt, use of silence and dramatic pauses.

He was also known for a distinct fashion sense in his suits, hats and trademark sunglasses. Monk was an unconventional stage presence, known for getting up from his piano to dance (sometimes in a counter-clockwise motion which drew comparisons to ring-shout and Muslim Sufi whirling) while his band members were still playing. Monk is one of only five jazz musicians to date to be featured on the cover of Time magazine, which puts him in a select company with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Wynton Marsalis, and Dave Brubeck.

We want you to be happy with your purchase, below is a guide to how we rate our records. We rate both the records and the record jacket. 

If the record does not live up to our grading upon receipt, please email us through EBAY before leaving a Feedback or Rating so that we may correct it for you.

General standards For Record Grading

(M) Mint Record still shrink wrapped, new copy of a record.

(NM) Near Mint Almost perfect record that has usually only been played 1-3 times, in "like new" condition, no visual defects.

(NM-/ EX+) Almost near mint, maybe a few very light marks, nearly perfect.

(VG+/ EX) Very Good Plus / Excellent Record - will show minor signs that it was played but otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Record surface may show light scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK".

The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. The center hole will not have been misshapen by repeated play. Picture sleeves will have some slight wear, lightly turned up corners, or a slight seam split.

An LP cover may have slight signs of wear also and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation or corner indicating it was taken out of print & sold at a discount. In general, if not for a couple things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

All but the most mint-crazy collectors will find a Very Good Plus (VG+) record highly acceptable.

(VG) Very Good Record has more wear than VG+ with some more surface noise, light pops, scuffs or light scratches. Generally still a great playing copy, no skips. Jacket may have more shelf wear, a little writing, sticker residue, punch out/cut out holes or corners.

(VG-) Very Good Minus Record has noticeable groove wear, discoloration, surface noise, louder pops, marks & scratches/ scuffs but still a decent playing copy, no skips. Cover may has heavier shelf wear, more discoloration and split seams.

(G/ G+) Good/ Good Plus Record still plays without skipping but has considerable amounts of groove wear, discoloration, surface noise, scuffs, and/or scratches.  Sleeve has a lot of wear and some defects such as split seams, heavy creasing, writing, marks, sticker residue, etc...
