0249 Jack Parnell [Selection] FLAC 8(23.57)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
A selection of Jack Parnell Quartet tracks from 1946-1950 originally issued on this 10" lp.
Jack was at the forefront of British Modern Jazz in the early days and employed some of the best young modernists. Tommy Whittle, Ronnie Scott, Norman Stenfalt are amongst those heard here together with guitarist Dave Goldberg.
Dave was one of the best young modern guitarists in the late 1940s but earned a living buried away in the big bands, including Ted Heath, for many years and seldom had the opportunity to solo extensively. He never recorded under his own name either which is a great shame but there some BBC broadcasts around where he is featured with his own quartet. He died in 1969 aged 47.
He does get some solo outings of these tracks though.
