chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 picked this up in the .50c bin, saying its the only existing copy in the universe might be a stetch, but ive absoutely never seen it before personally, thats for sure--- Bob Harrington Quartette- bobs on piano, w. jim wyble (guitar), red wooten (b), and two drummers are listen" john markham and lloyd morales does anyone know anything about these people or this lp! the cover is designed to look like one of those period pacific jazz artsy painting covers......equally perplexing is this link to the mp3 page of this album, the fact that it is reissued is almost stranger than the lp itself....on this link you can also see the strange song titles .... http://music.napster.com/the-bob-harrington-quartet-music/album/jazz-a-la-carte/12206322# Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeweil Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 Jim Wyble (g) Red Wooten (b) John Markham were all West Coast stalwarts. All recorded with Red Norvo, Markham also with Cal Tjader, but there is certainly more. All fine players, from what I have heard. Sounds like an interesting album.

chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted August 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 the vinyl on this seems to ---look--- good (well see just how it really is when i play it)-- its very thick and heavy vinyl, akin dare i say to a lexington ave blue note, lol--- the real amazing thing is always finding a crown record you never knew existed. the discography only tells part of the story, but when you actually find one of these weird records, its really something. i found one the other day to, of popular movie themes done by a string orchestra-- the thing about crown records ive found out is you rarely see the same one twice. every time its a different album. i havent bought every single one ive seen, maybe i should of-- i am going to make a music documentary movie about crown!!oh and lets not forget about DISCOS CORONA, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
