Looking for Oscar Pettiford Nonet, Big Band, Sextet New York 1955-1958

Looking for this Uptown release. Should have jumped when it was issued. Hoping to do a little better than the 29.99 copy currently available on Amazon. Also have plenty to trade. Thanks.

It's funny how some titles suddenly jump in price once they are out of print. I get the idea that Uptown was more of a hobby than a business and once the founder died, his heirs had no interest in continuing the label.

Might set up an eBay search that’ll run automatically (every day), with a price limit so you don’t get anything over $25 (or whatever).

Be patient, and within 6-12 months one may pop up!!

(I found another Uptown CD that way in a couple months, for less than $9 iirc (including shipping) about 5-6 years ago — a title Chuck said he’d missed out on, that I had shipped directly to him.)
