USED VINYL RECORD. PART OF A COLLECTON NOW UP FOR SALE.

THE RECORDINGS ENSHRINED IN THIS ALBUM WERE MADE IN LOS ANGELES DURING THE YEARS IMMEDIATELY AFTER JOE TURNER WON ESQUIRE'S SILVER AWARD AS MALE VOCALIST IN THAT PUBLICATION'S 1945 ALL-AMERICAN JAZZ BAND. IT WAS IN THAT 1945 CONTEST, TOO, THAT A LONG-TIME CONNOISSEUR OF KANSAS CITY JAZZ, DAVE DEXTER, JR. NOMINATED PETE JOHNSON AS ONE OF THE YEAR'S TOP PIANO PLAYERS ON THE AMERICAN JAZZ SCENE THAT WAS VISIBLE TO ESQUIRE.

KANSAS CITY MUSIC DEFINITELY WAS A PRODUCT OF ITS TIMES AND TERRITORY. JOE TURNER'S WORK AMONG THE BLUES VOCALISTS DEMONSTRATES THAT FACT AS DOES PETE JOHNSON'S PIANO PLAYING ON THESE TRACKS. ALTHOUGH POLISHED AS SHOWMEN BY THEIR EXPOSURE TO NEW YORK PRIOR TO GOING TO THE WEST COAST WHERE THESE RECORDINGS WERE MADE, THIS COLLECTION REFLECTS THROUGH THESE TWO KANSAS CITY MUSICIANS THE BLUES AND BEAT OF THAT FABULOUS ERA OF MID-AMERICA THAT IS ONLY A MEMORY TODAY. ALL TRACKS WERE RECORDED IN LOS ANGELES IN 1948 AND 1949. 

THE SLEEVE OF THIS ALBUM IS MADE OF HEAVY DUTY CARDBOARD, AS MOST OF THE ARHOOLIE RELEASES WERE. THE CONDITION OF THE IS GOOD, HOWEVER, THERE IS SOME WEAR ALONG EDGES AND A LIGHT CREASE IN THE TOP L/H CORNER. THERE ARE NO TEARS IN THE SLEEVE AND ONLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF SOILING ON THE REAR. THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND IS CLOSE TO BEING MINT CONDITION.

TRACK LISTING: Side 1 - Wine-O-Baby Boogie / B&O Blues / Rocket Boogie "88"  (Part 1) / Old Piney Brown's Gone / Baby, Won't You Marry Me / Skid Row Boogie. Side 2 - Christmas Date Boogie / Radar Blues / Tell Me Pretty Baby / Rocket Boogie "88" (Part 2) / Trouble Blues / Half Tight Boogie.

12" VINYL RECORD
