The Pete Jolly Trio and Friends: Little Bird (Äva Records AS-22, released 1963, complete stereo LP)

Here is Pete Jolly's album 'Little Bird' released in 1963 on Äva Records AS-22. This is the stereo version. The current digital version seems to be a needle drop of questionable fidelity and appears to be a mix of mono and stereo versions. This is the full stereo LP that is unavailable digitally. Track list: - Little Bird - Three-Four-Five - Never Never Land - Alone Together - To Kill A Mockingbird - Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most - My Favorite Things - Toot Toot Tootsie (Goodbye) - Falling In Love With Love Personnel: Pete Jolly: Piano Chuck Berghofer: Bass Larry Bunker: Drums --- and friends --- Howard Roberts: Guitar Kenny Hume: Percussion Unfortunately, both "Near Mint" pressings I bought were "VG" at best (thankfully the SweetVinyl SugarCube cleaned up just about all of the noise), and the mastering on both is identical--it sounds like the record was recorded under a blanket. I have not acquired a mono copy to compare. Yet despite the sound, this is a solid and swinging west coast jazz recording by Pete Jolly and the title track, "Little Bird," was a hit.
