This is probably the rarest of the 4 eps that Klein made as leader and, like some of the others, it has never been re-issued in any form. This original ep issue dates from 1955 and now BritJazz has posted them all.
This is a biggish band with some of the big names of the day and the music can be perhaps described as 'experimental'. Both tracks were arranged by trumpeter Jimmy Watson.
