I played the recordings for my Dad. He knows Jerry is a better musician than what the recordings represented.

He heard him play live in the 60's. Should have been done better.

I agree Blender and so does Jerry. The recording quality is good but the musicianship wasn't the greatest. Jerry really complained about "Desafinado" and the wrong notes the bass player was playing.

The thing to keep in mind is that this was a "practice tape" and not meant for public consumption.

I'm just happy to release vintage Exotica music that nobody has ever heard before even with the minor inconsistencies. I'm hoping that most people appreciate it too!

Cheers and Mahalo,

I totally agree Jeff. I'd rather hear something in "slightly less than perfect" condition than never hear it at all. And heck, I'm such a philistine that I didn't even notice. :)

Thanks again for putting the record out!
