Blue Note, 1976. Near Mint- ... $4.99
A cool little set from pianist Barbara Carroll – a player who got her start in the New York scene of the 50s, and served up some excellent work in later years – but who also comes across surprisingly well in this overlooked 70s session for Blue Note! The album's not nearly as electric ... (Jazz) read more LP, Vinyl record album
