A collection of Jimmy Deuchar's Esquire recordings taken from one 10" lp, one ep and various 78 rpm issues. These are all the recordings he made for Esquire with the exception of 4 alternate takes on a further ep which we shall see later.
His bright boppish sound heard here softened later in his career and on these recordings he could be mistaken for Dizzy Reece.
Ripped in FLAC from re-issue lp with front and back cover scans.

Many thanks to Azule for this gem.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant contribution indeed! Jimmy very much appreciated. Great stuff Azule.
ReplyDeleteThank you both. I really enjoy Deuchar's playing.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for this, and for all the other British jazz recordings posted here. They are very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteDeuchar thou swell
ReplyDeleteFabulous, looking forward to hear this
thank you Azule
sunbop
Absolutely delightful ! Thanks very much.
ReplyDeleteThanks, an interesting collection of well known standards, some of which I personally grew up with, played often on the radio / radiogram by my parents. The three or more sources are fairly evident by the variable quality and the artifacts they carry, the first set having an interesting but disturbing positional shift of the trumpet. I discovered on analysis that one channel has been phase inverted in the mix, most likely to give it pseudo stereo effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is an observation, NOT a critisism, as far as finding this rare set goes, its a magic blast back to my early childhood days.
Very pleasurable and interesting to hear Jimmy on his own without sax. Perhaps like many of the subsequent generations, I 'discovered' him via Tubby Hayes, by which time he was playing mostly abroad. I have loved every note I've heard him play, and was missing these, so huge thanks. I missed the Esquire re-issue too, and never succeeded in tracking down the originals (who has?). So to my ear these sound fine, although of course if anyone wants to lend Gonzo the originals for further tweaking....
ReplyDeleteThank you for this wonderful contribution, much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Being a lover of British modern jazz for a long time I rather had the opportunity to listen to EP's or 10inch. All are great!

I've downloaded all three parts on my mac and now i see and hear that track 10 is o.k.!
ReplyDeletebrian - bit confused with this one but I've done the whole thing now anyway, as above. You have it all okay now I see.
ReplyDeleteJimmy Deuchar - If I may add my thanks, and not just for Deuchar, but Victor Feldman, Alan Clare and Terry Shannon as well - joy! Thanks again.
