[Trombone-l] Melba Liston Album

[George Carr]

I have the Florence 1959 record, on vinyl.  It's excellent, and I
imagine the extra takes would just make it even better.  Florence is
active on the Kentonia list, so if you have trouble ordering from the
fresh sounds website. you might try writing him directly.
