ResponderEliminarFabulous music & good to hear Lucky Thompson in this setting. Thanks.
ResponderEliminarNo conocía este disco, cuando vi que participaba Lucky Thompson, lo bajé de inmediato y después de escucharlo un par de veces, decidí pasarlo a un cd-r, porque tratar de comprarlo en Argentina es como querer trasladar las pirámides de Egipto a mi país. Muchas gracias.
