episode 290: Jazz Bastard Podcast 290 - It's a Manne's, Manne's, Manne's World

Manne, a transplanted Easterner, made a career in California logging studio work, appearing on countless sessions, and leading his own group with varying personnel that was always know as Shelly Manne's men. Now, just in time for Record Store Day, Reel to Real is issuing live days by the Manne and, with luck, bringing his artistry back into our consciousnesses. Stay cool, cats!
