Once more this year has passed unbelievably quickly: so let's listen to track A2 Slim Gaillards "Sighing Boogie".
Guitar, vocals, piano, vibraphone, humor and gags all by Slim Gaillard, Los Angeles 1945.
Musidisc was a very trustworthy french label, but this one is not for HIFI gusto because the tracks were copied from 78rpm Shellacs.
But i ask you:
Does it always have to be in HIFI? Real life isn't/wasn't HIFI too. At least for me. At least partly until today........

Miles smiles while i am preparing the typical swiss Christmas evening dinner: Fondue Chinoise.
Miles smiles because of this curious Chinese-Switzerland connection.
Happy Christmas to everybody on this planet.
Happy Christmas also to Chinese people, though shurely most of them don't know about it.
But some of them know about smiling Miles.
US 1977 stereo reissue with superb dynamics: listen to the clear pacemaking hi-hat played by Tony Williams on track A3 "Footprints".
