Title: George Howard – Asphalt Gardens
Year/Genre/City: 1982, Smooth Jazz, Philadelphia, PA
Matrix #: PA 8035
Condition: NM

Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: An early smooth-jazz era artifact—urban adult radio and “quiet storm” programming created a new lane for sax-led LPs.

  2. Studio Lore: Producer-driven L.A./NY session workflow—tight rhythm teams, polished takes, and mix decisions aimed at FM clarity.

  3. Media Narrative: Smooth jazz became a class-marker format; critics mocked it while offices, cars, and late-night radio made it ubiquitous.

Title: Chet Baker – Chet Baker SingsYear/Genre: 1954, Vocal JazzCondition: New (sealed; 180g limited yellow vinyl) Cultural Facts: Recorded in Los Angeles sessions that helped shift Baker’s reputation from West Coast trumpeter to unlikely vocal star. Early critics were divided on his soft, fragile singing, but the album became one of his most enduring and reissued titles.
