Description
Legendary Eurojazz rarity by Ray Ventura and his Collegians, recorded in Paris in 1929; "Can't We Be Friends" features a mysterious American female vocalist and a blistering hot trumpet solo. This copy has seen better days; both labels are faded and a chip at the edge takes out the first ten seconds or so of side A. It does not extend into the music on the reverse. V+ condition; plays well.
