Art Hodes: South Side Memories (1984)

Sackville Recordings 3032

I picked this up used on discogs for $1.70, along with eight other similarly-priced Hodes titles, mostly solo piano albums from the 1970s and 80s. I was turned on to Hodes' work through his wonderful 1987 Christmas album, Joy to the Jazz World (also not on CD). You should pick up his records whenever you see them. 

According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Hodes "is regarded by many critics as the greatest white blues pianist, and he was also a noted jazz writer, historian, and teacher."

The LP has been posted in youtube:
