Nothing but straight fire off of this record.

I placed an order for a few J-Jazz records today, including her second album "Her Trio, Her Quartet". The album was first released in 1956 on Storyville and then reissued in 1974 in Japan (the version I ordered) . Roy Haines plays on a few track.

And of course, I’m paying for a drink. :giggle:
Oh man I never thought of asking on here. I saw them post it on Instagram earlier and it looks amazing.
