Anything with Phil is fine with me,thanks very much delmonico and Rodney for bringing this one to the fore.
ReplyDeleteThis could of course have been the title of countless British jazz albums! Thanks for this one.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that it's by Phil Seaman makes this recording a "must have" Many Thanks
ReplyDeleteMagic, despite the "unfriendly" tape splice, the occasional noise and the "off mics" What a session, what skill in getting together the cream of musicians in their time. 77 records and Doug Dobell, never bettered, I do wish I had been more into this stuff at the time, instead of exploring the "OTHER" delights for a young man !!
ReplyDeleteHow rude of me NOT to thank DM and Rod for making this available...If anyone wants a "straightened LP back (never could understand the print it where it falls approach) I have done a little "re-construction" of the scan...
ReplyDeleteGonzo. If you could send the reconstructed back to me, I'll post it on the front page below the front for anyone who might like to copy it from there. Surely the back in the download is straight though - it's as it was intended, isn't it? Veracity vs convenience?
DeleteNew to me.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Rodney.
Jazzjet - that LP will be posted here later. A bit of grovelling here to the owner may bring the time forward a bit :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks to you both for this post, and to the owner of the Decibel record....please please please !!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rodney. Whatever grovelling is required I'm prepared to do!
ReplyDeleteRelax, folks - it's now work in progress.
ReplyDeletemany thanks. jam sessions seldom sound as good in the cold dawn light of posterity. but here is one of the greatest British trumpeters, Ray Crane. I hear him as 2nd on 02 and 1st on 04. also a unique(?) chance to hear Gerry Salisbury on cornet.
ReplyDeleteRodney "Veracity vs convenience?" well put, I think in this case it is definately Veracity You know I like things STRAIGHT !!
