Dick Farney - Dick Farney e Seu Jazz Moderno no Auditorio de O Globo (1959)

We had another of those tough decisions to realize the perfect post to be the last today's post. It was not easy, but I think this is a great pick and several elements were evaluated. Dick Farney is one of the artists that I like most at Loronix, a great Jazz pianist that is also a great singer. This release is about the Jazz pianist.
