A 10" lp with a pick up group under the direction of Kenny Baker with musicians who were voted for by readers in 1954 to form this 'ideal' session.
Two takes for each of two tunes are played together then one long track which occupied one side of the lp. Details of the musicians etc are shown on the label scans.
The record was in pretty poor shape but it has been restored as far as possible leaving a sound which is listenable but not as good as we like it to be.
Kenny Baker - trumpet, flugelhorn
Jimmy Deuchar - trumpet, french horn
Bruce Turner - alto
Tommy Whittle - tenor
Victor Feldman - vibes
Dill Jones - piano
Sammy Stokes - bass
Tony Kinsey - drums

Thanks very much azule
ReplyDeleteMany thanks this rarity. Deuchar played mellophonium as invented for Kenton. A french horn with the bell forwards. He is also listed -- erroneously I think -- in discogs. on mellophone -- a different instrument. In whatever form, the instrument hardly caught on in jazz. Fortunately perhaps for it is a trifle porky.
ReplyDeleteMany, many thanks.
