Slim Gaillard: 1945 Vol.2 (CD)

(1996/Classics Records) 20 tracks -

By the end of 1945, Slim Gaillard had become one of the most popular musical attractions in the Los Angeles area. In December of that year, he seems to have practically lived in the recording studios, quite apart from making his regular night-club appearances. All 20 tracks on this CD were recorded within that single month for a bewildering variety of tiny labels.
