Singer-pianist-songwriter Wolf was discovered for the label by its part owner, Dick Noel. Yes! That Dick Noel. Here is a nice bio of Wolf that appears on his songwriting partner Fran Landesman's website. Liner photo (not shown) of Wolf was taken by my late friend Ted Williams.
Bass: Monty Budwig; drums: Shelly Manne. Guess this fantastic L.A. dream rhythm machine just happened to be in Chicago on Sept. 5 & 6, 1957 when this was recorded. And to think. . .I was still in junior high school when all this hipness was going down in Chi-town.. Didn't take me too long to catch up with it though, thanks to, among others, Charleston, WV radio jazz dee-jay Hugh McPherson. But I digress. . ..
Available for download for the next 48 hours only.

Another gem - you're on a roll!
Actually they reissued it as an lp back in the '80s (together with Piny Winters' 'Lonely One', Mary Ann McCall's Detour to the Moon and other never released on cd stuff...) That is if you are referring to that certain Spanish label n'est-ce pas?
Thank's for the upload...Apparently missed the other stuff :-(

By crackies, I just double-checked and yer right. I stand kee-rekted.
Hey, Bill, I made it within the 48 hour time limit. But where's the link?
Just one final remark about that Spanish label; Thank's to that certain label I started to collect jazz/vocalrecordings and got aware 'bout the richness and diversity of musicians (long before I got aware of the "bootleginess" that surrounds that label). It even made me aware of the existence of a singer named Beverly Kenney, starting a fascination for her and her work which led me straight to your blog...
Makes me think about another Spanish label named; LP Time. Made in Spain but only available via Japan!?! Has this one something to do with Fresh Sound recordings?
