Pianist Derek Smith emigrated to the USA in 1957 and played with all the great musicians in a long and successful career. He is still active in the States.
Here he joined up with two other British expatriates to form the short lived British Jazz Trio and recorded these 4 sides in New York in 1961. There are no other known recordings of this trio although they did play extensively in public.
Do I detect a note of nostalgia in the choice of tune titles?

ReplyDeleteI detect national stereotyping!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteForgive me for been so absent.
I saw the answers about Dropbox and agree with the other friend of yours. You can keep wearing RS.
I’m afraid that one day you will not be able to share these relics, but let’s enjoy while it’s possible.
Let me thank you again and wish long life to this amazing blog!
Paulinho.
