Description
Two previously unreleased sessions from 1959/60 – a key document of British jazz history. The Downbeat Big Band, headed by Tubby Hayes, with among its personnel a host of top British modern jazz stars such as Ronnie Scott, Jimmy Deuchar and Phil Seamen, was the finest unit of its kind but thought to have left no recordings in its wake so this release marks a significant discovery. The first session was recorded under studio conditions at Ronnie Scott’s club and the second was the band’s sole broadcast appearance (Victor Feldman guests).
Complete with detailed booklet, rare photographs, press clippings etc this is an un-missable treat for enthusiasts of British modern jazz.
New & sealed.
