they used to make 10" as well as 12" LP's) with Kell playing K622 with the
Zimbler Sinfonetta. Typical Kell style with distorted rhythm but a
beautiful tone, technique and conviction. It was such vocal playing, all
other players seemed cold and inflexible after listening to Kell

I had one of those records, too. It was getting rather worn, but the coupe
de grace was administered by my son (now over 40) who, having seen me
cleaning records with a special cloth, tried it with a "scrubby sponge."
After that, Kell was missing. Wish I could find another one, or a tape of
that one.
