Gil Mellé found by The Vinyl Detective

Recently I was in need of some light escapism and stumbled across The Vinyl Detective at just the right time. And much to my surprise found in its pages not one but two discussions of Gil Mellé recordings in this wholly satisfying tale of lost-and-found, vinyl LPs, beautiful women, Los Angeles, London, plumbing, eccentrics, cats, coffee, jazz legends real and imaginary, bus passes, serious analog turntable setups, and a very fine Barracuda. No streetcars, but hey. Nothing too mentally strenuous, just a few hours of good fun.
