Volume 193: Birdland Stars Tour 2

We slide now quite nicely into the second record of a two album set of popular New York City Jazz musicians taking their music around the U.S. In fact, according to the album back cover, they performed in front of 200 thousand fans during 37 concerts in 25 cities. This is one of those concerts.

So get ready to hear the East-West Coast All Stars with music refined at a famed jazz club named after one of the best saxophonists that ever lived in Volume 193:  Birdland Stars Tour 2.
