Music For The Birds
Eddie South and Mike Simpson
Mercury Wing SRW 16225

While researching this album I found a notice of South's death in the May 5, 1962 Billboard. South died at the age of 57. He had been ill for several years with diabetes and a heart condition.

Paul Whitemann dubbed him Dark Angel Of The Violin. Fritz Kreisler, upon hearing South play, told him he should have pursued a career in classical music.

This record was mentioned in the brief as his "most recent recording" due soon for release. So I assume the release date would have been 1962.

This is a rare and outstanding jazz/space age pop album.
