    I am really hoping that the lack of comments indicates many people already harvested this from the RR blog - and not that they are ignroing this excellent set. I highly reommend it, and the 'Live in Hamburg' Directions set that the RR site also posted. But then my opinion may count for little; this set was recorded 20 years before I took a serious interest in jazz, and I didn't even hear of it, much less hear it, until finding it on the RR blog a couple of years back, best part of 40 years since its first appearance. And being *instantly* impressed and delighted. Good music never ages. That's *good* music, I said there.

    And while verging on possibly apocryphal Ellington quotes, may I ask if you can PLEASE post the Directions in Jazz set 'Road to Ellingtonia', once of the RR blog, which I unaccountably overlooked until it was too late?

      50 years after its first appearance, I meant, of course, Must have missed out a thumb.

      Ellingtonia was scheduled for quite soon, Greg, but has now been brought forward to this Friday (July 04). Hamburg also to post fairly soon. I wasn't counting - advanced mathematics not my thing!

    I already had this one from its appearance on Ronnie Ross Music. Its one of the albums that started me into investigating more of British Jazz from the 50s and 60s after seeing one of the Jazz625 repeats on BBC4. Good to see it available again. To anyone who hasn't heard it, give it a go - there's plenty of swing here.
