This rare Oscar Moore recording was one of the few he made in stereo. Recorded for Omega in 1957, it combines Oscar with Leroy Vinegar on bass. This remained unreleased in all other formats due to some problems in the recording. It seems that Oscar accompanied himself via overdubbing. Something went wrong. The result was mud. However, with digital enhancement, the sound has been recovered and everything can now be heard. This is some fine Oscar Moore playing, which no fan of jazz guitar will want to miss (Editorial Reviews/Amazon).
