Sealed for 57 years.....     From the weight of this sealed album (320 grams) I'm assuming the vinyl weight is 160 grams.      Because of the early year it's my understanding that it's safe to assume that this is virgin vinyl'     The Fred Katz Orchestra "folk songs for far out folk" Warner Bros Records W 1277 mono 1959 STILL SEALED,      it does'nt have any visible wear to the cover. FEATURING the yet to be famous trumpeter Paul Horn and Johnny T. Williams,      known now as composer JOhn Williams!
    Folk Songs For Far Out Folk is the long-coveted 1959 gem from the eclectic jazz pioneer,      Kabbalist, magic man, and eternal left-winger Fred Katz. Katz is best known for introducing cello to jazz,      which he perfected in the 1950s with his famous stint with west coast jazz legends, the Chico Hamilton Quintet.     Folk Songs For Far Out Folk is a musical triptych of orchestrated jazz based on Hebraic, African, and American folk songs.      “Those were the three cultures that were most important to me at the time,” Katz says.      “The American culture I was very interested in but mostly as a radical guy who had to learn about folk music and      protest songs. And the African element just followed because of my belief in the oneness of man.      The reason for the Jewish stuff was the mystery. It’s impossible to ever know what God is. The trillion-faced God!”
