Love that Argo lp. It was, I believe, one of a series recorded by Argo in Chicago when the Duke Ellington band was playing at the Blue Note Club in Chicago;s downtown area. Clark Terry had a lp, “Out on a Limb” I believe was the title and if meory serves me well, there was also a lp from Jimmy Woode the bassist.
Another great Argo Jazz lp is by tenorman Vito Price, “Swingin’ the Loop.”

Re:Webster-that date is one of the best sounding Verve’s of the era,which is sayin’something! On a good system-with a mono cartridge-you’ll wonder why anyone could listen in any other format. Webster’s personal, breathy tone is perfectly captured. Perfect. HTF in ‘near mint’ shape.

It looks like someone pulled the old switcheroo on that copy of Soulville as it doesn’t even have the original cover! It has the later “V” prefix on the back and spine vs. the “MG V” that a trumpeter label copy should have.
