Side B
Kurt Maier, Pianist With Rhythm
Encores Of New York
Allegro Elite 4102
195?
Budget label Allegro always seemed to produce nice jackets designs.
Interestingly, there is several inches of blank record leftover on each side of this 10 inch 33 RMP disc. Normally, this might indicate a reissue (from another record project). But I don't think that is the case with this project.
Little is to found online about Maier. Apparently he made a few "Encores" records for Allegro although I can't find mention of this particular record.

This is really lovely! I left all 10 minutes play while I made another cup of tea. Just Fabulous! You are really finding wonderful things!
ReplyDeleteThis one came from St. Vincent Thrift. A record collector in front of me left it...
ReplyDeleteHi Mark,
ReplyDeleteApparently Kurt Maier was a prisoner of war during World War II, and his piano playing may have been one of the reasons he was kept alive. He did two albums for Decca and has loads of albums on Eli Oberstein's various budget labels. Thank you for the info on the Little Club. I knew nothing about it.
