This is last recording session of the Ronnie Scott nine piece Orchestra from April 1955.
By this time, Ronnie was moving away from his Lester Young sound and sounds very 'modern' here. A great band with few recordings and a nice version of John Lewis' 'Sil Vous Plait' which seems to be the only other recording of this tune since Lewis wrote and played it in the Miles Davis Nonet back in 1949.
Phil Seamen, who seemed to be on everyone's recordings in the 1950s, drives the band along with his usual verve.
Hank Shaw - trumpet
Ken Wray - trombone
Derek Humble - alto

ReplyDeleteRonnie Scott - Thank you very much Britjazz. "S'il Vous Plait" and "Jordu" were on the ProperBox Ronnie Scott set, but as far as I can see "Pearl" and "This Heart of Mine" have never been reissued anywhere. So thanks again.
