Various - International Jazz Festival Prague 2 (1966) [vinyl]

A marvelous Jazz concert held in Prague in 1965 at the International Jazz Festival. At the top of the billing is Ted Curson with the junior trio consisting of Jan Hammer, Alan Vitous and Miroslav Vitous playing ‘Caravan’ and his own beautiful tune dedicated to his then wife ‘Marjo’. In addition, he attaches himself to the Gustav Brom Orchestra in a brilliant display of his trumpet playing. The remaining tracks on the LP showcase a Czechoslovakian combo and orchestra; Georgi Garanyan And His Combo and Jerzy Milian, Gustav Brom Orchestra; Jerzy being a star vibraphonist. A rare old piece of vinyl with notable mono sound, Enjoy!
