Description
The LP (AFLP 1874) is in perfect condition; I host jazz radio programs and maintain broadcast quality with all of my LPs. The jacket spine is slightly worn and the jacket back has a little writing on it. (See photo #2)' I also include the original, very protective inner sleeve (photo #3).
Kelly performs with The Pat Moran Trio which includes LaFaro.
“If you are familiar with the name Pat Moran, you know your Chicago mainstream jazz from the late '50s. A wonderful stylist molded in the musical post-bop-to-cool visage of a Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, or Bill Evans… ‘Beverly Kelly Sings’ features Moran's bright piano on American popular songs….with her trio, including the vaunted bassist Scott LaFaro. Two years after these sessions, LaFaro would join the trio of Bill Evans, and was killed in a car accident two years after that in the summer of 1961. ..Bev Kelly (is) a skilled singer in the Anita O'Day tradition…A precious bit of history from that great and enduring year in jazz, 1957, this extra-special document should make all listeners wish they had heard more of Moran and Kelly, not to mention the immortal Scott LaFaro, who reflected on this date as one of his most memorable and enjoyable.” Michael G. Nastos-All Music Guide.
