- DESCRIPTION: WOW! AMAZING PROMO-ONLY PRIVATE-PRESS BOX SET of 7 (SEVEN) JAZZ RADIO-SHOW LPs by GREAT U.S AIR FORCE BAND! Released as a recruiting tool for the USAF, as part of its "Serenade In Blue" series. A total of fourteen 25-minute radio shows, each divided into two 10-and 15-minute programs (that’s nearly 6 hours of great music and programming, folks!). With Air Force public service announcements and recruiting advertisements in each program. Features the Airmen Of Note (USAF jazz band) in various ensemble settings – mostly smaller groups, and some larger ones. Several tunes feature special guests Marian McPartland and Ethel Ennis.
This thing is just too cool, and it COOKS! There are various styles, including bop, ballads, straight-ahead, big band , and even a bit of Latin-jazz and jazz-psych jazz - but I think it will be of most interest to collectors of jazz-funk and DJs, cuz it’s got lots of FUNKY JAZZ, RARE GROOVE, funky JAZZ-ROCK and some JAZZ-SOUL VOCALS by Ethel Ennis! Lots of potential SAMPLES! Plus there’s a COOL LABEL ERROR – the labels for programs 289 and 290 are reversed!
This is right up there with the best military jazz, jazz-rock and jazz-funk albums – and this set has seven LPs – so grab this while you can! DON’T MISS OUT!
