0272 Dudley Moore [The Theme From Beyond The Fringe & All That Jazz] FLAC 8(38.09)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This is Dudley's first jazz Trio album recorded in August 1962 with his long serving colleagues Peter McGurk on bass and Chris Karan on drums. Apart from Dudley's own 'Theme...' the tunes are all well known standards and a real treat to hear.
Dudley was a man of many parts;  pianist, writer/arranger of film music, comedian, singer, film star but  the handful of trio albums he made between 1962 and 1978 are the main interest for jazz fans. Sadly, very few have seen a cd re-issue but this is one of them.

0270 John Dankworth [Dankworth Plays Dankworth] FLAC 10(42.21)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
One of Dankworth's great bands from around the  Newport Jazz Festival period playing the compositions of the leader. Personnel and dates are 'best guesses' based on the musicians heard in solo.
John Dankworth described his own playing as 'Couth, Kempt and Shevelled' which I think is a lovely description - very modest but very true.
