Paul Gonsalves Recommendations
Just reading the rear cover notes on my new Ben Webster LP and the author references Paul Gonsalves. I don't have any of his music and was wondering if you might offer some recommendations. I'm partial to the reissues from Acoustic Sounds, etc. so any of these with exceptional performances would be great. Thanks!
