Kendo's Vinyl Deal Recommend:

Bobby Hutcherson - "Happenings"
This album was forward thinking and still sounds fresh today. Originals like "Rojo", "Aquarian Moon", "Bouquet" and "When You Are Near" are stunning, and the dreamy version of "Maiden Voyage" is splendid - the album features Herbie on piano. The vinyl release is a Prime item and is actually $1 cheaper than the cd currently lists. It also comes with a digital download. 

Kendo's CD Deal Recommend: 



Paul Desmond - "Pure Desmond"
Pure relaxing jazz with Ed Bickert on guitar and Connie Kay on drums! Desmond sounds great and very engaged.
