Vinyl plays with occasional light-crackles (play-graded). Cover looks good, moderate scuffing and discoloration with darker spots (front/back). Address stamp on both front and back. Inner-sleeve is original (plastic); two seams partially split. Spine is mostly readable with mild wear. Little shelf-wear along bottom-edge, top edge is partially split with a small tear at top of opening. Some wear to corners. Opening is crisp with signs of use, a few tiny tears and surface abrasions. (Not a cut-out.)
Joe Viola Plays Manny Albam is Volume III in the Jazz in the Classroom Series. Joe Viola is featured on oboe, English Horn, Clarinet and Soprano, alto, tenor & baritone sax. For what sounds exactly like the performance of a well-organized and rehearsed reed group, but it isn't at all. The entire first side is played by one man, the multi-talented Joe Viola.
