The first volume in the series, features part of the 17th National Tour of Jazz at The Philharmonic. Initiated by jazz impresario Norman Granz who constantly faced down the authorities across the USA by insisting on staging racially integrated shows Featuring a Septet comprising Roy Eldridge (trumpet), Flip Phillips (saxophone), Illinois Jacquet (saxophone), Oscar Peterson (piano), Herb Ellis (guitar), Ray Brown (bass), Jo Hones (drums). Pressed on 140g black vinyl. A show like this would be good way of demonstrating to the uninitiated what jazz is all about.
