Vido Musso- the swingin'st (crown records)

[Guest]

--got for 20 cents: cover is very high quality photo, in the style of other west coast covers of the time- even back cover is very "un" crown--- liner notes, personel, composer credits, and song times!! vinyl looks like the quality is no differfent however . personel incl. m. ferg. on tpt, mlt. berhart on tromb.,

who are Chico Alvaraz (tpt as well), Willard McDaniel (piano)?

...

Guess it´s Alfredo "Chico" Álvarez, a Canadian-born trumpeter who was with Stan Kenton in the 40s and later with Maynard Ferguson.

who are ... Willard McDaniel (piano)?

He was a blues/R&B/boogie-woogie pianist (even recorded with Elmore James).

There´s a disc under his name, "88 à la carte" (Crown 5024) recorded in the 50s.

the difference between that pic and mine , is that mine as the 60s style, later crown logo on it. but the cover is identical otherwise. ditto the back. vinyl is bad- bubbly and with lots of potholes is it!!!- im scared about playing it on my good player!

Chico Alvarez is in the trumpet section of the Stan Kenton orchestra in this William Gottlieb photo:

[Portrait of Stan Kenton, June Christy, Laurindo Almeida, Eddie Safranski, Bob Gioga, Shelly Manne, Chico Alvarez, Ray Wetzel, and Harry Betts, Richmond, Va.(?), 1947 or 1948] / William P. Gottlieb [photograph]
