February 15, 2023 Records of the Day

Every one is familiar with dances such as the Twist, the Pony, the Swim, and the Mashed Potatoes. But before them all, there was the Madison. “Madison Time” was a hit for the Ray Bryant Trio in 1960. With its picture sleeve, as seen here on the left, it can now sell for $30.00. Ray Bryant was one of the few Jazz pianists to make the Billboard Hot 100. From 1953-1956, he was the house pianist in Philadelphia’s Blue Note club. The album “Ray Bryant Trio,” released on Prestige Records in 1957, is worth up to $700.00 today.
