Newstalgia Downbeat - The Shelly Manne Quintet And The Stan Getz Quartet Live At Basin Street, New York - 1956

I haven't done any live Jazz posts in a while, and for absolutely no good reason. So I thought I would make up for that by offering a very special Club date featuring the Shelly Manne Quintet and The Stan Getz Quartet, recorded live by CBS Radio at the Basin Street in New York City on April 21, 1956.

As far as I know neither of these performances have been made commercially available (or even as bootlegs), so this should be a special treat for both Shelly Manne fans and Stan Getz fans. Both groups are in top form and feature an all-star cast of sidemen.

Good way to close out the week.

Enjoy.
