Description: JIMMY YANCEY was the most thoughtful and eloquent of the so-called "Boogie Woogie" pianists. Rather than barrel his way through a piece, as was the usual practice, he took his time, using space and dynamics to produce a unique, winning blues style. Jimmy could have made records from the early '20s; he started late - THIS record is from his first session, in 1939. I'm grateful he recorded at all! "SLOW AND EASY BLUES" and "MELLOW BLUES" are perfect, typical Yancey, including his trademark, sudden key change at the very end! This original 1939 Victor 26591 is in spiffy E condition. No issues. ***** These records come from my private collection, which I have been accumulating since 1967, and now am downsizing! My highest priority in these eBay auctions is to give you the best possible idea of a record’s true condition and aesthetic value. I always post at least four clear images, showing the record fore and aft, a close-up of the label, and the whole disc, warts and all. If my purple prose won’t cut it, the pictures will! Shipping is done with expert care. Your record will brave Media Mail in a stout corregated box, between four sheets of cardboard and a couple of “packers.” I hope you are amused by these descriptions, and by the quality of service being offered.
