Richie "Dick" Garcia - A Message From Garcia
I gotta be honest, even though I saw Evans and Quill on the cover listing I didn't have high hopes for this lp. I bought it mostly for the cheesecake cover. I just assumed the lp would be far to beat to ever offer up. I was close to right (somebody liked side two alot),but it's not as bad as some I have seen and the music was better than I hoped so why not share?
I have before said I am not a huge jazz guitar fan but I'm coming around. Big clarinet fan though so this seems to hit all the right buttons tonight.
Anyway the lp was to be relegated to a frame on the wall but it just might have found a home in the collection. Nah, who am I kidding? That baby's getting framed!

I liked this cheesecake cover...
Many thanks, Hookfinger!
I’m not much of a fan of jazz guitar OR clarinet. One of the few exceptions is Chico Hamilton’s 50’s quintets and this sounds a lot like those. This record reminds me of those grey market Chico releases on the Crown label; terrible pressings, no information, but somehow they festinate me! Yes, this is a much better album than you’d expect and I bet the cover looks great on the wall! Thanks for letting us listen.
