[Dixielandjazz] Marty Grosz

[Marek Boym]

Hi
Delmark 209.  An excellent album, apparently recorded in 1959 (they
hint at it in the liner notes, but would not explicitly disclose such
qualified information).
Which reminds me that I must get the Albert Nicholas Quartet - Delmark
207 - as well.
If you are looking for Marty Grosz, I highly recommend The Classic
Jazz Quartet CD on Jazzology, which incorporates two LPs - one
originally issued by Stomp Off, and one - y Jazzology.
Cheers
