Note: Tom Lord's discography lists Tony Coe as playing all three instruments but I could not hear an alto saxophone anywhere except maybe near the middle of 05. Even then it still sounded more like a soprano saxophone to me.
01 and 06 are unaccompanied acoustic piano solos. Rodney

0312 Tony Coe [Swingin' Till The Girls Come Home] FLAC 9(41.26)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
This was Tony's working Quintet in 1962 and it was his first full lp as leader (he had made some earlier sides issued on ep).
Whilst there may many admirers of Tony's work out there, he has a personal sound that really doesn't appeal to me (Paul Gonsalves too) but one has to admire the musicianship and the swinging sounds on this fine mainstream lp. The much under-rated pianist, Colin Purbrook, gets some solo space too.
It has been re-issued on a Japanese cd (very elusive) but this is from the original vinyl.

0311 Jack Emblow [Housewives' Playtime] FLAC 14(31.59)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
I found this lp in a Charity shop during one of my endless trawls in the hope of finding something worthwhile, which is not very often, and I must admit that I was attracted by the cover. Well, who wouldn't be?
I paid £1 and never even looked at the vinyl which I was intending to dump and just keep the sleeve. When I did look, it was an absolute train wreck, full of scratches, scuffs and it sounded terrible when played. But there was something about the music which interested me. Well played, lightly swinging and reminiscent of music I remember hearing on the radio during my youth. So, I decided to attempt some kind of restoration.
I made at least three different rips from the lp before I got the best 'original sound' and then spent hours on restoration trying to get a decent end product. It was probably far longer than it warranted but having started I just couldn't give it up.
The end product is far from perfect but I was quite pleased with it and so here it is. A labour of love.
For those who love trivia, the model on the cover is Mavis Ascot. No, I didn't make it up and I've never heard of her either.
Apart from the very well known Jack Emblow on accordion, the musicians are unknown and the music was recorded in 1962 (issued in 1963) for Embassy which was a Woolworth's record label.
I since discovered that the lp is quite a sought after cult item and sells for quite high sums. BJ spares no expense in bringing this music to you.
