0626 Don Harper Denny Wright [Combo] FLAC 14(46.35)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes
Something a little different in that a violinist, Don Harper,  takes centre stage in this fine small group recording featuring a duo, trio, quartet and sextet from the collective musicians.
If the song 'Little Buttercup' sounds familiar, well it is, but now better known as 'I'll Never be The Same' following lyrics which were added by Gus Kahn to the original instrumental.

Alan Branscombe - vibes, accoustic and electric pianos

Note: Tom Lord's discography lists Tony Coe as playing all three instruments but I could not hear an alto saxophone anywhere except maybe near the middle of 05. Even then it still sounded more like a soprano saxophone to me.
01 and 06 are unaccompanied acoustic piano solos. Rodney
