Getting back to my series on old record advertisements from vintage jazz magazines, here's a new installment. Clef magazine (April to July 1946) is the source and labels are West Coast Recordings, Excelsior and Cadet.
FIVE MINUTES OF BEAUTY: BOBBY GORDON, JOHN SHERIDAN, MARTY GROSZ, HAL SMITH
(Jazz at Chautauqua 1995 or 1996)

Eddie Condon would say that this music comes in the ear like honey, and who
would argue? Something so pretty, from Joe Boughton’s own mixtape of
favorites ...

From Donald Clarke:
ResponderEliminar"Interesting. Mingus had 78s on Excelsior too, I think."
Yes, Donald. The Mingus Sextet (1945) and Mingus & his Orchestra (1946) sessions, both included in the Uptown CD "Charles Baron Mingus - West Coast 1945-1949".
