Annie Mae

“Jazz at the College of the Pacific” Dave Brubeck Quartet featuring Paul Desmond, with Ron Crotty and Joe Dodge. Fantasy Records. 1955. Red Vinyl. Illustration by “AR”. (Thanks to S.B. Whitehead for identifying the illustrator as Arnold Roth)
Antill: “Corroboree” (Suite from Ballet) Sir Eugene Goosens Conducting The London Symphony Orchestra. Evererst Stereo.
“Bailando con Billy” Columbia Records. Billy Cafaro con Lucio y Su Conjunto. Billy looks a lot like Maynard G. Krebs
Webb Pierce. Country Music Time. (1965) Decca. Beautiful guitar and Nashville Nudie suit.
“New York, New York” Composed and conducted by Harry Geller. RCA Victor. A nice triptik, gatefold photo of the city’s skyline at night.
“Reddy Teddy’s Rowdy Roundup” TFM-100. Crazy titles here like “When the Iron in Your Blood Turns to Lead in Your Pencil”! Cool illustration with that leopard skin bikini bottom and tail! Unlikely you’ll ever see this record again and I’m guessing there never was a TFM-101.
“BLUESette” Savoy Records. 1959. Curtis Fuller’s Quintet with Benny Golson, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Garrison and Al Harewood. DAMN. Just writing these names conjures up the feeling of soul jazz, hard bop and a time of amazing musical excitement. The songs here are It’s Alright With Me; Wheatleith Hall; I’ll Walk Alone; Arabia; and Judy’s Dilemma.
