0613 Harry South [Say No More] FLAC 12(34.59)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This is designed to showcase the music associated with Sergio Mendes as played by the Harry South Big Band and also to demonstrate the 'Living Presence Stereo' produced by the Philips record company.
It is a huge band with a double brass section (one playing out of each channel) and producing an equally huge sound. Turn down the volume before playing!
The sleeve has a 'simplified diagram of part of the complex multitrack stereo recording system used for creating living presence stereo'. I hate to think what the complex diagram looked like.
And to round it all off there is a wonderful piece of technical data which is pure gobbledegook. I think it's something to do with microphones. Did people really care about those things back in 1969?
The band is packed with big names but there are few solos and these are not identified.
But forget the jargon and the trivia - just enjoy the music.

0418 Harry South [North Of The Soho Border] FLAC 23(55.58)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Almost an hour of Harry South's Big Band in a BBC Jazz Club broadcast from 8 November 1965.  Some big names here, including Tubby Hayes and a few vocals from Georgie Fame. What a pity that there were so few commercial recordings of this band although the personnel fluctuated over it's life depending upon availability of the musicians.
This was ripped from a cassette given to me by a musician friend. There is some sound disturbance for the first minute or so. Otherwise the home taping sound is reasonable for the period. Not sure what the original sound format was (my CDR shows up as CDDA) but it appears here as FLAC with a 'cover picture' and full details.

0387 Harry South Tubby Hayes [Big Bands 1964-65 and The Commonwealth Big Band 1965] FLAC 11(1.15.37)

Contributed by delmonico, who writes:-
Three BBC Jazz Club sessions. One full broadcast and two partial broadcasts.
The first, a Harry South Big Band broadcast from 16 May 1964 and what a line up too. Vocalist is Johnny Grant on three tracks and the whole session runs as one with no track separation.  Just as broadcast.
The first song 'Sound of Seventeen' fades in and there are volume level variations for the first couple of minutes. After that, the sound is fine.
The second track consists of an eleven minute track by a different South Big Band and was recorded as part of the 27th Annual Jazz Jamboree Concert held at The Hammersmith Odeon, London on 7 November 1965 in aid of The Musicians Social and Benevolent Council.  The announcer was comedian Tommy Trinder, of all people. It was broadcast on BBC Jazz Club on 26 December 1965.
The third track is by the Commonwealth Big Band under the leadership of Tubby Hayes and consists of just one 15 minute long track - '100% Proof' recorded at the same concert as track 2 but broadcast on 27 December 1965.
The music was recorded from radio to cassette tape and then digitised. It ended up as FLAC here with full track details and a 'cover' picture.
