0247 Malcolm Lockyer [Sweet and Hot] FLAC 13(38.54)

Contributed by delmonico, who comments:-
Recorded sometime during the 1950s this has the Octet playing a selection of mainstream standards recorded for this obscure label.
The musicians concerned (basically session men) were mainly connected with the dance bands of the day but it is all well played and there are some good solo moments in places.
Neither the label nor the sleeve indicates that there is an extra track on side 1.  Track 5 is 'East Of The Sun' (not mentioned anywhere) whilst track 6 is 'When Lights Are Low'.
FLAC with lp cover scans.

    profound thanks for this fascinating rarity.

    'Envoy Records was a subsidiary of Delysé Records, the first record company to be owned and run by a woman. Classical pianist Isabella Wallich started the Delysé label in 1954.' is all I can find.

    The only name jazzer here is McQuater but the, some obscure, session men manage to play some decent jazz and they swing.

      Thanks for the feedback and the info, zoot. Quite a few names in the line-up very familiar but there must have been many "session men" who never got much chance to shine.

      Yes, most of these names appear in the "Who's Who Of British Jazz". Thanks very much for this delmonico.

    Thank you very much, delmonico: McQuater is the only name familiar to me and thus a complete surprise package. That's the stuff that makes this blog so wonderful !

    Anonymous Yank from Ohio appreciates your stellar efforts.

    This site is quite the education. I am impressed and humbled! British (modern) jazz is seldom discussed here, and that's a pity.
