Here’s an album I thought was going to be unplayable when I saw the condition of the cover. I have no idea why the back and front are completely separated. And the bigger surprise is that my dad didn’t put it back together with his usual black electrical tape patchwork.
But I’m glad I didn’t overlook it because of the condition of the cover when I listened to the music it wasn’t covering very well. This was some great jazz that I didn’t mind listening to several times while I was deciding on the songs for this episode.
So get ready to hear a couple of musicians who were around for the birth of the cool in Volume 217: Gerry and Chet.
More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
