Count Basie Orchestra - Magic (1945 vinyl LP April in Paris)

"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." - H. L. Mencken

Released 1945 under the album title April in Paris.

All posts are rendered in old school using restored vinyl LPs. This channel does not use recordings from CDs. As much as possible, I attempted to remove most of the pops and crackles from the original vinyl album. Some remastering was applied to make the performance cut through within the confines of the loudness wars.

Hope you enjoy.
