Mine's in the post. Sounds interesting

I’ve played it quite a bit already via the Bandcamp app. A bit of a legendary band, this is from broadcasts I think and part of the Jon Hiseman archive. Without this LP there would be no recorded legacy that I know of.

Sure to sell out pretty quick. Between us we have 1/250 of available stock !

Conte Candoli  -- West Coast Wailers. Two 1956 LPs on one CD. Same group on both -- Candoli, Bill Holman, Lou Levy, Leroy Vinnegar, Lawrence Marable. All parties in top form, the surprise for me being what a fine muscular tenorman Holman was --  perhaps halfway between Zoot and early Rollins but actually quite individual.

Totally agree - Bill Holman was/is very under-rated on tenor.

Is that ‘West Coast Wailers’ the one on the 1000Yen edition? My copy is in that excellent and great value series.

Label it's on is Phono. Lou Levy and Conte were a terrific comper-soloist pair; at times you can hear Conte completing in the next breath an idea that sprang right from Lou's comping. And Marable is really popping.

Was lucky enough to catch both Conte and Lou live - same festival but not together. Both wonderful players. Conte I remember as being full of ideas and enthusiasm - with excellent trumpet technique.
