The Ray Brown Trio: Live at Scullers



You guys may find this hard to believe, but I did not buy these last three Ray Brown CDs at the Crack House, I actually bought them at a record store. OK, they were $6 each in the cutout bin, but they were not 99 cents at the Crack House.

As for the discs, how can you not love Ray Brown. Being Telarcs the SQ is top shelf and the music... it's Ray Brown, that's all that needs to be said.

Scullers, that brings back some memories.  I saw Roy Hargrove and Chris Conner there, some others too, can't remember. 

This is a nice recording:

Some nice drum work by Clayton Cameron.

With: Kenny Burrell, guitar; Tivon Pennicott, tenor sax and flute; Benny Green, piano; Peter Washington, bass; Clayton Cameron, drums

Alright Rob, now you're talking my language. The only thing better than great music on vinyl, is a good bargin on great music on vinyl.

  and my local record store doubles as an alternative lifestyle  store(drug, marital aids, videos, etc.) no crack shack here, just where the crack/pot heads come for rolling papers, bongs, etc.  Every day that I spend more than 15 minutes in there, I overhear the store manager coaching some poor soul on which "system flush" kit they need to buy to beat their company drug test.       Stupid idiots, the music is the best drug.

oh, had to drop 1.99 on this baby....  good condition, my 15yr old guitar playing son will dig the guitar work.

Beautiful recording of a great guitar master playing Spanish standards. EMI recordings are top notch.
