0019 Cleo Laine John Dankworth [A Lover And His Lass] FLAC 16(52.43)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Cleo had recorded with John Dankworth's various groups since 1951 and made her first records with Dankworth's Seven then later with the big band for Esquire. The first 8 tracks here comprised Cleo's first lp, also on Esquire, a 10" lp titled 'Cleo Sings British' (all the songs being by British composers), and recorded on 3 March 1955. She is backed by a small group from the Dankworth Big band called the Keith Christie Quintet including, of course , her husband to be, John Dankworth (or Johnny as he was known back then).
The remaining tracks making up this re-issue lp are drawn from recordings of the Dankworth Seven between 1950-1952.
