I actually just got this one and have only listened to the first side--which has four tunes, and I really liked two of the four songs, El Chico and Marcheta--very percussive, mostly featuring Gabor Szabo on guitar. The other two songs are Broadway show tunes--I especially couldn't bear "People." So based on only hitting on half of side one, I would say $26 is a bit steep, though I still need to listen to side 2. (I paid $15 for an impulse original).

Chico Hamilton--El Chico (impulse)

kh1958,

How is this album? My local record store has a 180gm reissue lp, but it's friggin' $26!

Worth it?

Thank you. I think I'll pass. :w

Willie The Lion Smith & Don Ewell 'Grand Piano' (Sackville)

next:

'The Drums' By Jo Jones (Jazz Odyssey) where Papa Jo explains (and demonstrates) the techniques of the great drummers of the Past (from Baby Dodds) to Sid Catlett! Amazing!

Johnnie Spence Big Band 'Why Not?' (UK Verve). I thought it sounded suspiciously like the CBBB in parts but then I noticed one Mr K. Clare listed on the drums. :tup
