0599 Mark Ramsden Dave Cliff [Tribute To Paul Desmond] FLAC 10(45.18)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
An affectionate tribute to the late Paul Desmond and his music played by alto saxophonist, crime writer and formerly the Editor of 'Fetish Times', Mark Ramsden (how's that for a CV) and guitarist Dave Cliff with bass and percussion.
If you like Paul Desmond then this is for you. Beautifully played with some interesting twists - see if you can recognize what song 'The Mermaid' is based on without reading the booklet notes.
I play this a lot and I hope you will too. It's very addictive.  'El Prince' is a good one to try first.

0456 Brian Lemon Roy Williams [How Long Has This Been Going On] FLAC 11(1.06.30)

Contributed by Dave_Bruce, who writes:-
I include Benny Green's liner notes as they reflect his typically self-deprecating style though I confess to being baffled by his suggestion that Scott Hamilton has big feet. Is it true? Do we need to know? Does he play the better for them? More seriously, Dave Green's playing is, as ever, a delight on an already fine album."
