Of Note:
Track 03 - Rude announcers talking while McCoy plays his intro to 'Blues On The Corner' for almost the first minute. This happened during most of the Playboy Jazz Festival sets which were broadcast every year for a while, unfortunately. While we're very thankful for anything they could offer us non-attendees, this was definitely a drag. However, unlike some others who prefer editing out announcers in other shared broadcasts, I'm including as much music as they aired, obscured by talk or otherwise.

By my experience, indoor radio reception in much of LA and its surroundings is terrible on the channels down on the 'low-end of the dial'. This is not a
pristine recording, but it'll get y'all there...

Goody - August 16, 2018.

RIP Alfred McCoy Tyner (December 11, 1938 - March 6, 2020)
