The title of this LP---one of Shirley Horn 's first recordings---was not recorded at the Vanguard but, rather, Gaslight Square in St. Louis. The Vanguard was about a thousand times more well known to the average record buyer than the actual recording site. Besides, who could tell the difference anyway? To HELL with historical---not to mention discographical---inaccuracy. rec 8/61 w/ John Mixon, bass & Gene Gammage, drums. Download available for the next 48 hours only.
Although the label that released this, Canadian-American, was a bonifide (not bootleg) label, it is somehow doubtful this was released with Horn's knowledge or permission. Still. . .nice to have it. Sorry 'bout the jacket scan. Then again, maybe the more the scan crops off of the jacket---ummmm--- "design," the better.
Man o man...I was dying to hear this one...really...Turns out that all the stuff I recently downloaded from your blog doesn't work on my pc...SHOOT! I hope it's as good as I think it is...
ReplyDeleteThank's anyway!
I truly truly truly hope that someday it wil be released on cd...Maybe together with Horn's Embers & Ashes recording, that would be ideal.
