0155 Geoff Taylor [Sweet Suite] FLAC 2(10.39)

















Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
A little known alto saxophonist who led his own Earl Bostic styled group in the 1950s and 1960s.
He freelanced in the 1970s then left music only to resume regular playing and freelancing in the London area in the 1990s.
Here he is heard on what was one half of a 10" lp with a 'Sweet' theme which is perhaps generously described as 'pleasant'.
