Intakt (Switzerland), 2023. New Copy ... $17.99 19.99

Let Me Tell You 'Bout It (RVG remaster edition) ... CD Blue Note, 1961. Used ... $9.99
An odd little session for Blue Note, but a great one too! The record is odd in that it features a host of players who weren't normally part of the label's off-used roster of big-name sidemen, and odd in that it features a swinging style that's a bit of a nod to earlier jazz days than the early 60s ... read more CD
