We saw this group earlier playing on a Blue Note lp, 'Cool Britons' and here is the remainder of that session featuring the same musicians and issued by MGM.
It occupies one side of a 12" lp (the other side being by Jutta Hipp and not for this blog). The original MGM lp is very elusive but this is taken from the Japanese re-issue of the lp. Sound is not as bright as it could be.
The stand-out track for me is Harry Klein's ''Two Sleepy People'. Harry, not particularly well known, will feature later on other recordings.
Ripped in FLAC from re-issue lp with cover scans.

Thanks for this rarity, delmonico.
ReplyDeleteCool Britons....many thanks for the second installment delmonico.
ReplyDeleteCool Europe-Cool Britons - Thank you very much for completing both parts of a fine session. A real rarity. You are doing a great job in making available such recordings - many of which have not been heard for half a century and which are literally the stuff of legends.
