Back again with one elusive Argo/Cadet rarity - Herb Pilhofer's Jazz! I've been looking for this side for ages now to fill in some of the gaps in my personal collection of the main Jazz LP series (600-759), so excited to finally have it and post it on the blog.

Can't find much information on the leader, Herb Pilhofer or on this particular side. I gather Pilhofer was a Minneapolis based musician, who is notable in library music circles. So, essentially this side is jazz library music - competently executed , but not something that is quite distinctive either. Good fidelity from the original Argo mono vinyl.
