Known and available recordings of The Cangelosi Cards
April 12, 2019
The Cangelosi Cards were a jazz band active from 2006 – 2011 based in New York City. They're great, but I haven't been able to find a copy of their albums. If, like me, you'd like to hear their music, this page lists all their recordings I could find on the public internet, excluding content on YouTube. If any links are broken, or if I've missed something, let me know! Note that most links here are also available in the Internet Archive.
