Conte Candoli All Stars: Little Band, Big Jazz

I love that record - mostly because it was stolen from my freshman dorm room in 1962 and during summer break I attended a concert in Des Moines by Shelly Manne and his men. After the concert I went to Conte and said I like the record but it was gone. He invited me back to the Hotel Des Moines where he and Russ Freeman met me in the lobby with a fresh copy of the record.

Nice story, good record.

That definitely is a memorable story and I'm glad it worked out for the better.
