In 2020 I managed to secure a few really amazing Jazz collections. Some of the pictures are below. There really is great demand across the world for the right Jazz music. A part from the music what I really love about a good jazz collection is usually it turns up in amazing condition. Don’t tell the Rockers, but Jazz enthusiasts really know how to take care of their vinyl records!
I have to confess that until I got heavily into record dealing Jazz wasn’t an area I was familiar with. A few years experience and coming into some spectacular collections I realise that Jazz is a very special Genre. It’s also a pretty wide genre spanning the early traditional jazz through to the more modern Jazz Fusion and then there’s free Jazz….. I still don’t quite get it! Some of the covers are also amazing keep reading where I go through a few of areas that I’m keen to buy and you’ll see some amazing album artwork.
Jazz Genres
Lets start with what might be described as Modern British Jazz. If you are looking to sell Jazz Vinyl Records that include, Mike Westbrook, Tubby Hayes, Ian Carr, Don Rendell, Joe Harriott, Harold McNair I’m always interested. Some of these can be very valuable, some them maybe re-issues and not so valuable, but all are still desirable. Check out the pictures below of some I have on my ebay account at the moment (Oct 2020).
- Harold Mcnair UK
- Don Rendell – Dusk Fire UK
- Alan Skidmore – UK LP
- Don Rendell – Phase iii LP
Modern British jazz is just one example of so many different genres. I usually refer to Avant Garde, Free Jazz, Traditional Jazz, but the list of different genres literally goes on and on. I’m sure I could write a pretty controversial article about the different genres of Jazz and which artists / albums fall into each one. A few to mention are Dixieland Jazz, Jazz Funk, Jazz Fusion, I even came across someone talking about Punk Jazz! But let’s not get carried away. if you have a Jazz vinyl record collection to sell I’m sure i’ll be inteersted!
Jazz Vinyl Record Labels
So far I’ve spoken about the different genres of Jazz, but there are also some amazing labels that stand alone. Riverside and Blue Note are two that spring to mind, and later there is ECM. These are notable for great production and sound quality. Again these are the sort of labels that I’m always keen to buy. Again these can hold significant value if rare original issues or less so for later re-issues, but whether original or not there is some amazing music on these labels
- Uk Verve Label
- ECM Label
- Riverside Label
- Blue Note Label
A very quick run down of some of the artists we are looking to buy of course it’s not all of them, but hopefully gives you some idea.

Good evening.
After clearing out my late father’s loft, we were aware of a significant collection of vinyl and many of them being jazz.
We have a copy of Monk’s Moods but we literally have hundreds.
He was a big vinyl collector in Sheffield where he grew up. He was a big fan of Jelly Roll Morton, some appears to be recorded in 1922 in NY.
Many are in the old paper sleeves and its highly likely that the artists that you mention are also included.
It appears to be a real find.
