0264 Ronnie Scott [At The Royal Festival Hall] FLAC 6(24.32)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:
This is the Scott Orchestra contribution to the 'Jazz Scene 1956' concert at the Royal Festival Hall, London.
The material is surprisingly mainstream for this band at this time and there are no surprises in the music. There are far better earlier examples of what the band could do, but this is a scarce record and only one of the tracks has been re-issued on cd.
It was the last recording of this band and there are still 3 unissued tracks, including an Annie Ross vocal.  One for a Vocalion cd re-issue of the whole set?
FLAC with lp cover scans and pdf file.

    Beautiful, simply beautiful: I had not heard this one before - what a GREAT record. Those Basie-ish sounds are just amazing. Thanks so much, imdeed!

    Ronnie Scott at the RFH 1956. Many thanks, it's hard to see why this has never made it to CD, it's very enjoyable and it contains what must be some the earliest Stan Tracey arrangements on record.

    Ronnie Scott at the RFH 1956. Many thanks JM and Bluebird, most enjoyable, it's surprising that this set has never made it to CD. It contains what must be some of the earliest of Stan Tracey's arrangements. Well worth reviving. Thanks again for making it available.
