Disclaimer:

Thank you for your interest in the unique vinyl LPs included in this fundraising auction! The vinyl pieces included have all been donated by local collectors (and former radio DJs) and are in quality condition. Please note that the Kuumbwa Jazz team-members are not vinyl specialists and therefore the items are not graded individually. Many pieces have standard age wear visible to the cover sleeves. If there are any particular notable quality considerations on either the vinyl or the jacket, it will be noted accordingly. All auction sales are final.

Item-specific notes from donors:

Solo Flight The Genius of Charlie Christian: "Charlie Christian revolutionized the jazz guitar in his short period in the spotlight. This two LP collection gathers recordings with Benny Goodman as well as sessions under his own name. It is a fairly complete set of all his master takes, the only other known recordings are mostly live sessions from radio broadcasts or jams at Minton's Playhouse and some tracks with Lionel Hampton." - Jeffrey Werner.
