I try to post albums from musicians who are not well known, who either were forgotten, or even worse, never made it in first place. This album is from trio that cut only one album, from 1961. Here are the links. The Trio, Gaylor, Bean, Norris. Hop... 
If you could only own 7 Jazz/blues albums. What would they be?
Schubert, few clicks lower, on Amazon, they start from 45 usd, which is still very much money for a lp. That is one reason that I buy cd's, the second is that I just cant find all the  albums that I want on lp. If you care about fidelity, look for...

Regarding 'the dispute' that is going on...'the very controversial jazz movement on the west coast in the 1950's was a beautiful one in certain musical ways and yet it failed for probably one reason. And that was that there was too litlle of the h...

Spaeking of jazzmen who ended up in prison, because of possession of drugs, one should not overlook the faith of Hampton Hawes, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison, only to be pardoned by JFK after serving 5 This is the album that Hawes record...

Always thought that Chet Baker was a great figure in jazz, so much, that I never posted any of his albums, thinking that everyone has lots of his albums. Beeing 'obscure' (not thinking about CB) once, should not stop us finding and listening  thei...
