“Kenny Drew Trio” Riverside/JVC XRCD

I always wanted a copy of this XRCD but didn’t see one that wasn’t expensive. . . until last week, when I saw one on ebay for 5.99 and free shipping. Took a chance that it was in good shape, and it arrived today in EXCELLENT shape.

Howard Rumsey on upright electric bass. 

"Lunceford on steroids"? Sure. But at this point it's honest and exciting!
