0058 Vic Lewis [Mulligans Music] FLAC 8(22.55)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Vic Lewis was active on the jazz scene from the 1930s and led a number of fine big bands over the years. Vic was an important part of British Jazz right up to his death and his recordings always found something new and fresh to say even on music  which some would say was a pastiche of the original. Many fine players passed through the band and here in recordings from 13/14/20 January 1954 we can hear a very young Tubby Hayes on tenor but soloing on baritone on 'Bark For Barksdale'.
This tribute to Gerry Mulligan's music contains 3 tunes played from the original manuscripts donated to Vic by Gerry. The other tunes have been re-orchestrated in the Mulligan manner by Johnny Keating. Originally recorded for Decca the tracks were re-issued with other material by Vocalion in 2004.
