ART FARMER / PHIL WOODS - WHAT HAPPENS:
Rare Italian LP with these two jazz luminaries together with Daniel Humair, Martial Solal and Henri Texier. Listen to the version of Kenny Dorham's "Blue Bossa" or "Watch What Happens", but this LP stands up all through. Cover has 3 cm split top seam right, humidity spotting and aging inside gatefold plus some general shelf wear. I believe this is the first Japanese pressing, FOX-7008, most likely released just a few years or so after the Italian original. No obi or insert.
