About this recording
This is the (near) complete Playboy Jazz Festival, 1980, Day-1. In 1986, one of these master tapes was stolen from my car (Volume-1).
Volume-1 contained three acts: Baya, Bobby McFerrin, and Contemporary Records' All Stars. I had a backup copy of Baya and
Bobby McFerrin, but Contemporary Records' All Stars is gone forever. Here's what was on it (we will sorely miss it).

Contemporary Records' All Stars:
Length 45 Minutes
Freddie Hubbard: Trumpet; Joe Farrell: Woodwinds; Joe Henderson: Sax; George Cables: Piano; Billy Higgins: Drums
