A British Jazz veteran, still playing, and here with his 1955 Quartet including Eddie Thompson on piano.
Vic first recorded with the Kenny Baker group which included Tubby Hayes of which a 78rpm disc was posted earlier on this blog. He recorded little as a leader - less than a dozen sessions stretching back over a 60 career in music so it is quite a rare treat to hear him in this role.

Thank you. Never heard this artist before. Very enjoyable. Thanks also to delmonico.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this Vic Ash session. A rare treat as you say.
ReplyDeleteGood to see my old mate Victor getting some exposure here. Why not try and dig out his rare tracks Blue 'n Boogie and High Priest from the Nixa "Blackstick" album. Even Vic hasn't got them!
ReplyDeleteCheers

Yes, Simon, only two albums with Vic so far (this one and with Harry Klein) but we hope to do better. Blackstick tracks are now on our wanted list.

Even more Anglo-hipness! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI seem to remember that in the UK in those days we did not say "hip" but used "hep" as a slightly less embarrassing alternative. Things have changed a bit since.
