and perhaps the "purest" one in the series so far

to take their performance far out

Enjoy the classic sound of jazz!

Volume 3
Modern Music

is a mix of music recorded

before the 1960's.

It's music recorded before and at the beginning

of the introduction of the LP format and some of

the tracks in the mix were

even recorded before the introduction of

the magnetic tape in the recording studio.

Nevertheless, I find these tracks to be far from dated

and as "modern" as ever.

Enjoy!
