THE CURTIS FULLER QUINTET South American Cookin' (1961 first US issue 6-track deep groove mono LP on a black & yellow Epic label, also starring Zoot Sims, Tommy Flanagan, Jimmy Merritt & Dave Bailey, featuring a number of uptempo Bop numbers alongside the Southern flavours of Besame Mucho & One Note Samba, ending on a great version of Autumn Leaves. The pasted sleeve is as good as it gets, with just a tiny 1cm paper in the top edge & no other blemishes. A beautiful copy indeed, thevinyl too is Excellent with merely the lightest evidence of play by the spindle area. Wonderful LA16020)
