  • This LP are shows are 23H and 24H.  

  • Visually the LP is VG++ to NM- 

  • Play Graded it is a solid near mint. Plays extremely quiet for the primitive recording technology of 1965.

  • Labels have writing on them as shown.  I'm guessing the handwritten dates on the label are broadcast dates, but I do not know that for a fact.

  • The Vince Guaraldi Trio plays the intro and outro music for both shows in addition to the tunes they play for each show.   

  • Don Wilson Hosts both shows as the MC and interviewer. 


Credit Due: The following bolded quoted text is from the wonderful Vince Guaraldi web page by Derrick Bang....fivecentsplease.     "The Navy Swings was a weekly, 15-minute public service radio show broadcast from 1957 through 1970, which gave countless jazz stars an opportunity to demonstrate their chops for an appreciate audience no doubt delighted to bring a little swing into their lives. The format was the same each week: A host -- George Fenneman, Jack Haskell and Don Wilson traded off, over the years -- would introduce the guests and allow them to play a mini-concert of three or four short numbers, each followed by a short and stirring message from "your local Navy recruiter." "Vince and his trio did four of these shows, all of which also featured Bola Sete. All four shows were hosted by Don Wilson, and likely were recorded at the same time. They were recorded and released on LPs -- one show per side -- albeit not granted commercial distribution; as a result, they're very hard to find. Vince's sidemen aren't listed, but after a careful listen, drummer Lee Charlton seemed satisfied that he and bassist Tom Beeson did the work. That dates the sessions to 1965; since Guaraldi, Sete, Beeson and Charlton were in Southern California early that summer, this seems a logical guess."  This LP are shows are 23H and 24H. Side 23H -"Sete is much more prominent in the third program, which opens with "Samba de Orpheus," and then segues to "Star Song." Sete takes the melodic lead in "Valsa de Uma Cidade (Waltz of a City)," and that's pretty much it for that visit."  Side 24H - The fourth show opens with a tasty cover of "What Kind of Fool Am I" by Vince's trio; Bola then shines during a spirited rendition of "One Note Samba," and then the trio -- without Bola -- delivers covers of "Lollipops and Roses" and "What Is This Thing Called Love." Cue a final announcement, and the trio concludes with another spirited rendition of the "Navy Swings" main theme
