Thanks for tuning in today. I hope everyone is excited for some great records. This week we’re playing an hour of 45s that feature that ethereal instrument known as the vibraphone. There are lots of great players featured here: Milt Jackson, Vince Montana Jr. and Bobby Christianson to name a few, along with lots we may never know.

Hope you enjoy!
