Discovering Jazz

Episode 253: From My LP Collection, Part 1

I haven’t had much chance over the past few years to play many of the lp records I have stored in my storage locker. This series of episodes remedies some of that. I’m listening to a few of them and digitalizing some favoured cuts so I can play them on this podcast.

This week’s episodes starts and ends with Sarah Vaughan and some amazing vocals with the backing of Count Basie’s Orchestra (minus the Count). Between those tracks you’ll hear Phil Woods, Lennie Tristano, Buddy DeFranco (playing a rare George Russell composition) and accordio-organ player, Tommy Gumina.. There’s also a bit of Oscar Peterson with Stephane Grappelli . And Toronto’s UZEB with guest Michael Brecker.
