Back again with a monster Prestige Soul Jazz rarity - Gildo Mahones' 2 LP set "The Great Gildo/Soulful Piano"! This is a rather pleasant and wonderful side from a great player who never got that many opportunities to record as a leader, spending much of his career as a sideman for the Lambert, Hendricks & Ross vocal group and Lorez Alexandria. Mostly good fidelity with some occasional unavoidable surface noise and slight pops from the original and rather worn difficult to find gatefold 2 LP Prestige vinyl.
Get it
Thanks a lot, I was searching for this one for a while !!
