I was just putting a record away and noticed a stamp on the inside – William Carraro with a Malverne, NY address. Whenever I find an address in a record I look it up online – that is what brought me here. I bought the record in St. Louis in 1998 and never noticed the address until just tonight. Glad to know it came from such a legendary fellow. I listened to ‘I Can’t Get Started’ in his honor after I read about him.

In case anyone is curious, the record is a UA issue of Donald Byrd At The Half Note Vol. 2.

Just found your picture while search for other jazz collectors. I had to stop by and say that it’s nice to know that I’m not alone in having a room packed to the gunnels with albums. Wishing you all the best from the UK.

…It a fine summer night here in Ottawa, and the sun is setting as we speak. Billie sings a standard in the backdrop, with a fine single malt in one hand, a cigar in the other to complete the picture…. Here’s to you Red.

Al, that picture kills me!
I would have stopped by Red’s more often but I knew it would surely cost me a weeks pay! It was impossible to leave that basement without at least a small stack.
remember how Red would stamp his covers on the inside? and his penciled codes on back covers? still have a closet full of em. including some new U.A. Blue Notes.
thanks for sharing .
