Forgotten Riverside Gems

6 forgotten gems on Riverside Records — and every one is worth hunting down on vinyl. Riverside didn't have Blue Note's hype, but they recorded absolute masterpieces. Today I'm cutting through the noise on 6 overlooked LPs: Blue Mitchell — Blue Soul, Thelonious Monk — Monk Plays Ellington, Art Blakey — Ugetsu, Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard (June 25, 1961), Wes Montgomery — A Dynamic New Sound: Guitar/Organ/Drums, and Philly Joe Jones — Blues for Dracula (1958). I'll tell you which pressings are worth your money, which reissues to avoid, and why these belong in any serious jazz vinyl collection. #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #vinylrecords #jazzhistory #recordcollector #jazzalbum #acousticsounds LPs: Blue Mitchell — Blue Soul, Thelonious Monk — Monk Plays Ellington, Art Blakey — Ugetsu, Bill Evans at the Village Vanguard --a really great affordable pressing!!!
