Eddie Weaver: "Masters of the Console, No. 1"

Probably recorded in the late 1950s.

As you may know, record producers did not generally date their recordings until well into the 1960s, and even then you might not find a date on an album cover.

Anyway, from a musical and historical standpoint,

this is a valuable recording.

Pipe organ is not everyone's cup of tea,

but playing one is most assuredly a rare art form.
