jazzbo Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 That's a killer Ray Nance lp. . . . I bet the cd sounds even better than the lp (I hope so as the lp is not a sonic wonder!) I wish they had combined "A Flower is a Lovesome Thing" with this one though. . . I think they would both comfortably fit on one cd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 I'm glad to see the Nance, if only so you - the Jazz Public - can help me decide if that is or isn't a pre-Aunt Esther LaWanda Page on the cover. I'm serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hank Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Glad to see these coming out, particularly the Ayers date. I'd emailed Jerry Roche at Mighty Quinn about West Coast Vibes a few months ago and he wrote that they might try to get some bonus tracks on there from Vi Redd's Bird Call album.
