0387 Harry South Tubby Hayes [Big Bands 1964-65 and The Commonwealth Big Band 1965] FLAC 11(1.15.37)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Three BBC Jazz Club sessions. One full broadcast and two partial broadcasts.
The first, a Harry South Big Band broadcast from 16 May 1964 and what a line up too. Vocalist is Johnny Grant on three tracks and the whole session runs as one with no track separation.  Just as broadcast.
The first song 'Sound of Seventeen' fades in and there are volume level variations for the first couple of minutes. After that, the sound is fine.
The second track consists of an eleven minute track by a different South Big Band and was recorded as part of the 27th Annual Jazz Jamboree Concert held at The Hammersmith Odeon, London on 7 November 1965 in aid of The Musicians Social and Benevolent Council.  The announcer was comedian Tommy Trinder, of all people. It was broadcast on BBC Jazz Club on 26 December 1965.
The third track is by the Commonwealth Big Band under the leadership of Tubby Hayes and consists of just one 15 minute long track - '100% Proof' recorded at the same concert as track 2 but broadcast on 27 December 1965.
The music was recorded from radio to cassette tape and then digitised. It ended up as FLAC here with full track details and a 'cover' picture.

    I think is astounding that you continue to come up with such high quality 'gems'. You continue to amaze and delight me - a 75-year-old grumpy old man (apparently!). Please keep on doing it (at least until I fall off the planet in 2080 or so!!). Thanks a million.

    To borrow Tommy Trinder's catchphrase, 'You Lucky People'. And we are indeed with this wonderful post. Many thanks, delmonico and Rodney.

      delmonico tells us "They are actually all unissued - the two Harry South tracks on the IAJRC lp/cd were from a different date (1960) with different musicians."

      Thanks for that Rodney realised once I'd listened to The Goblin that it was a different version.
