Episode 32: Cheerful Little Earful by Johnny Guarnieri

We got this album in a super roundabout way, but we finally got it! Some swinging intrepretations of jazz standards by a prolific, but under-recognized pianist.

Super cute cover, right? You'd want to buy it for $3, too.

Less cute cover. Flissy has a hard time taking photos straight.

Shenanigans have nothing to do with that problem, we're sure.

Episode 23: Ragtime Jug Stompers by Dave van Ronk

This album could totally have been made today by some earnest hipsters. It could be you and your neighbor who home-brews playing jugs and washboards on the porch. But no! It’s from 1964. A playful and timeless album of early jazz, blues, and folk tunes.
