0583 Colin Purbrook [Trio With Guest Peter King] FLAC 6(52.01)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
Spotlite only issued this session on cassette for some reason and it has long been out of print. The original issue might possibly have been titled 'Blues For Buddy'.
However, Tony Williams, the owner of Spotlite Records kindly made me a CDR of the issued music and here it is.
Colin Purbrook recorded little under his own name although he was a very active pianist and arranger on the British mainstream and modern jazz scene so this is quite a rare event.
But Peter King has most of the solo space and it could well have been issued under his name as the trio only play one track without him, Lush Life.  It would have been nice to have heard more from the trio but perhaps there was at the concert, which was recorded live at UCS Frognal in September 1988, and it was just not issued.

0440 Colin Purbrook [Radio Nights] FLAC 10(1.01.57)

Contributed by an anonymous donor, asssembled by delmonico who writes:-
All the compositions are by Purbrook and all get a chance to solo. The flute work is probably Ray Warleigh or possibly Duncan Lamont
There are short patches of radio interference in places and what sounds like tape 'print through' in others although this might be the result of over enthusiastic restoration work (not me guv, honest). Reasonable sound apart from these mentioned defects.
From radio to tape then digitised to CDR and presented here as FLAC with track details and a 'cover picture'.
Assembled by delmonico from an anonymously donated CDR.

Collective personnel:
Hank Shaw - trumpet
Keith Christie - trombone
Ray Warleigh - alto, flute
Duncan Lamont - tenor
