0431 Derek Smith Tony Kinsey [National Jazz Federation Modern Jazz Concert Volume 1] FLAC 6(40.55)

Contributed by Rodney, who writes:-
This album was previously available on the Ronnie Ross Music blog but the version offered here is a new rip. No replay gain and remastered by bluebird. The original recording was not of good quality and the condition of the vinyl did not help but we've done the best we can on what was I think an historical jazz occasion.
The cover too has been rescanned and improved by jazzandylan.

0049 Dill Jones [Jazz Today-Piano Moods] FLAC 11(36.19)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
Dill Jones didn't record all that much under his own name and here are three sessions taken from three eps - 'Top Of The Poll', 'Dill Jones Plus Four' and 'Piano Moods Volume Five' recorded between 1956 and 1959.
Two are Trio sessions and the other is a Quintet session with the added horns of Ray Premru and Duncan Lamont.
Dill's recording career began in 1946 playing with Carlo Krahmer and then Vic Lewis. In the early 1950s he signed up with the modernists and is featured on many recordings from that period with such musicians as Ronnie Scott, Jimmy Deuchar, Tommy Whittle and Kenny Graham. He has already appeared on this blog in various sideman roles.
Once more, another pianist who emigrated to the USA back in 1961 but he did return to the UK from time to time to play and record.
He died in 1984 in New York just 60 years old.
