EXTREMELY RARE Gene Franklin’s Pier Five Jazz Baltimore w/Tom Delaney LP NM 1956

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY RARE RECORD , EXTREMELY !!!! 

I have been buying and selling in the Baltimore area 33 years , I have only seen one other copy of this LP 

Currently a wide internet search shows only one for sale worldwide , it is Lower grade and quite a more then my asking price 

Here is a little history :

Gene Franklin was self-taught, and couldn’t read music, but he had an excellent ear, and a sweet, clear tone. He could sound like Benny Goodman. In the 1950s his band played for dances at Yale, Princeton, and other Ivy League colleges, as well as Baltimore’s top jazz clubs. They enjoyed a large, devoted following. Somewhere along the way, Gene acquired pianist Wilder Chase, who had played with the Original Dixieland Jazz Band. Through the years, other fine players passed through the Pier Five’s ranks, most of whom continue to play jazz somewhere in the Baltimore area.

This LP is the only known recording in existence that reflects Gene’s artistry, This LP album is from 1956, entitled “Baltimore Jazz.” The band’s personnel at this time, besides Gene on clarinet, included Bob Waller on piano, Mike Palmere on trumpet, Ken Read on trombone, Bill Goodall on bass, and Larry Algire on drums. 

This rare recording also has historic value, as it contains  a priceless vocal by composer (and Baltimorean) Tom Delaney, singing his “Jazz Me Blues.”
