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. 

John Picard - trombone
Tony Coe - alto, tenor, clarinet
Colin Purbrook - piano
Spike Heatley - bass
Derek Hogg - drums

    many thanks.

    "Tony Coe is one of the most remarkable and brilliant musicians in the world. The sheer range of his musical activity… …is staggering and testifies to an awe-inspiring instrumental mastery." Humphrey Lyttelton

    I agree but I think that with age he became even better, less derivative.

    Thank you for this. I am a great admirer of Tony Coe's work, of all kinds (by coincidence I was listening to his album "Zeitgeist" earlier today, before coming across this posting), but hadn't heard this before. Keep up the good work!

    My first exposure to Tony Coe was the Melody Four group with Steve Beresford and Lol Coxhill back in the mid-80's. Ever since then, I've tried to listen to other things that he's worked on over the years. Thanks, Rodney & Azule.

    After listening to this a couple of times I can see Azule Serape's point on Tony Coe's improvising and I'm not surprised that he links him with Paul Gonsalves. They are both harmonic improvisers rather than melodic improvisers and their improvisations don't always go where the ear expects them too. They challenge rather than conform, if you see what I mean and don't always make for "comfortable" listening. My two cents worth.
