0336 Various Artists [BBC Jazz Club Guitar Workshop] FLAC 12(45.56)

Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
A Jazz Club session with 3 very different groups featuring the guitar.
Dave Goldberg never commercially recorded anything under his own name so it's good to have this, albeit brief, set from him.
Cedric West, another guitarist not too well known, was greatly admired by fellow musicians and had a long and active life in music, mainly as a session or backing musician. He does feature on some early British jazz recordings and made a handful of lps under his own name. Here he is with his Guitar Sextet. The personnel is a 'best guess' based on other Sextet recordings by him.
Ray Russell has a much more modern or free approach to his music and the 3 tunes played here were to feature a few months later on his album 'Turn Circle', recently re-issued on cd. This was a regular working group and it has been assumed that the personnel are as on the later 'Turn Circle'.
Overall, the sound is not good - just listenable - and there 'fade-ins' on tracks 1, 5 and 9 with a 'fade-out' on track 12.
The scarcity of recordings by these musicians warrants posting however.
FLAC from CDR with a 'cover picture' and track/personnel details. The music was recorded from the radio broadcast to a home reel-to-reel tape recorder and later digitised and transferred to CDR. It was donated by a follower who wishes to remain anonymous.
