Back again with actual jazz vinyl rarities from my collection- first up a lost Prestige side from the Moodsville series: Dave Pike Plays The Jazz Version of Oliver! At first glance the material for this side - the musical Oliver! - does not look promising for a jazz side. But the title is very deceptive - this is actually a very nice swinging vibes date -recommended!

Wow, this was the last of the "remaining" Moodsville titles, after you had posted the Al Casey and Sam "The Man" Taylor albums. You really know what you are doing! Many thanks for these elusive rarities!
