Just like Volume 1, you can find more information on each of the tracks in Volume 2 in the original post, which you can get to by clicking on the artist names below. This is an all-vinyl, all-jazz compilation, with all tracks ripped from the original LP’s. It also includes some stellar Canadian content: Jane Bunnett and the Moe Koffman Quintet, the latter of which is featured in the embedded player below. Enjoy!
