    Great tracks. Saw the MJQ in Cardiff in the late 50s and they are still one of my favourites.

    Absolutely brilliant. Many many thanks.
    Any chance that the tracks without Joe & Ronnie are available anywhere?

    Well, thank you VERY much for this one that I have just found. Anything by the MJQ is treasured and then the bonus of Joe H and Ronnie R tops it off. Thanks to delmonico for this one and to BritJazz for hosting it!

    Once again thanks for this rare recording.
    Although I haven't visited often here I think it is sad news for all fans of good Jazz that "BritJazz" will close.
    Wish you all the best - Cheers!
