    I had this buried on VHS tape for a quarter of a century. On re-discovering it recently I was amazed at how good Best is and astonished that he seems to have chosen not to record.
    I eagerly await tomorrow's post!

    Thanks, grumpy and Rodney. Nice to hear a British vibist who isn't Tubby Hayes or Bill Le Sage.

    Lennie also played at the "Palm Court Hotel" in Richmond at a gig run by Ed Faultless, bass,with Martin Joseph,piano, and Dick Brennan,drums. He was a very swinging player.

    I always regarded Lennie Best as an excellent vibes player, so it's great that at least a couple of sessions have survived. Thanks to Grumpy and Rodney.
