0610 Alan Skidmore [East To West] FLAC 6(1.10.36)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Two sets from Alan Skidmore making his debut on BritJazz.
Both are live Quartet dates. One from Hong Kong in 1989 with Stan Tracey and the other from Ronnie's in 1992.  Both have different approaches to the music.
The Hong Kong set has a more straight ahead jazz feel to it with a lovely ballad performance of 'Too Young To Go Steady' (do I recall Pat Boone singing this?) whilst the Scott set is heavily Coltrane influenced, perhaps not surprising as the tunes are all by him.
Alan only recorded a handful of dates under his own name so it is good to hear him stretch out here. The Hong Kong performance is enthusiastically received by the local jazz club members whilst the customers at Scott's all sound drunk as usual. The marvellous Bryan Spring brings his own supporters club with him too judging by the reception he gets.
FLAC from OOP cd with booklet scans.
