limited edition of just 100 copies, this release flew off the shelves when Potions Music first dropped it, and for good reason. Chicago-based trumpeter Gerald Bailey brings a distinct bedroom jazz aesthetic, drawing from hip-hop’s cyclical structures while layering in resonant improvisations. Gross Means isn’t just a collection of tracks, it’s a mood, shifting between robotic, electronic beats and warm, organic textures with ease.

Bailey’s compositions reflect pandemic-era solitude and post-pandemic upheaval, moving through hypnotic Ethiopian jazz motifs ("One Weak Vacay"), loose-limbed Second Line rhythms ("Lost Gold"), ominous ambient-industrial beats ("Bench Seat"), and explosive spiritual jazz workouts ("Sandboxing"). His trumpet work swings between meditative and urgent, speaking without words, carrying both righteous anger and quiet contemplation.

Featuring contributions from a small but potent cast of players - including additional drums (David Ageo, Dan Bailey, Harry James), synth textures (Chris Geddes, Kyle Hodges), bass (Jake Vinsel), and flute (Brad Wagner) - Bailey still keeps the vision tightly focused. His own arsenal of instruments includes bass, drums, synths (Fender Rhodes, Roland Juno-106, Teenage Engineering OP-1), toy grand piano, and his unmistakable trumpet.

Shipping FAQ

 Heads-up for our U.S. customers:

The new U.S. executive order effective August 29, 2025 ends the de minimis duty-free exemption (under $800) for most goods. But—good news—this does not apply to music and informational media like vinyl, CDs, tapes, cassettes, posters, and more, which remain exempt thanks to longstanding U.S. law (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(3)).

So when you order from us, your favorite records and media stay tariff-safe, just as they always have.

Condition/Grading FAQ

We follow the Goldmine standard (S / M / NM / VG+ / VG / etc.) and grade both the vinyl and the sleeve separately when necessary. We visually inspect every record and play-grade whenever there’s doubt.

What do the grades mean?

  • S (Sealed): The record is sealed and has never been played. 
  • M (Mint): The record is like new, with no visible light scratches or cracks. Sleeve is in pristine condition, like new. 
  • NM (Near Mint): Vinyl looks and plays almost like new. Cover is free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
  • VG+ (Very Good Plus: Vinyl has a few light marks, maybe some light background noise. Cover shows only very minor seam wear or a split.
  • VG (Very Good); Vinyl has noticeable wear, but still plays through without skips. Cover shows signs of human handling (ring wear, creases, seam splitting, writing or markings from a price tag).

If necessary, more detailed condition notes are included on each product page.
