Raymond Scott and the Secret 7 The Unexpected Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:
During the late 1950s, he was deep into modern jazz and working with small ensembles. His 1960 album The Secret 7:
The Unexpected featured an all-star line-up, the cream of New York’s jazz cats: Sam “The Man Taylor,” Harry “Sweets” Edison, Wild Bill Davis, Milt Hinton, Elvis Jones, and others. The names were not revealed on the LP, but as jazz historian Nat Hentoff stated in the liner notes: “Jazz aficionados will instantly recognize the players.” The album features eight quirky Scott originals and several standards. The Basta CD version is mono, but the LP version features a very rare vivid stereo mix.
