Final Update

I'm sorry to say the prospect of a further post of the music of Ronnie Ross has receded, only a small chance left that it will materialize and this in the distant future.

So that seems to be it. I will keep the downloads current for as long as I can. Thanks to all once again for your interest and contributions.

Au revoir.

(Thanks to Gonzo who has spruced up the MP3 download)

As mentioned elsewhere, this is a very rare item as far as is known.
It is presented here with many thanks to bluebird.
Ronnie Ross is heard only on track 1 but plays a good solo.
Ripped from a 10" LP so quite short at just over 26 minutes.

I have been prevailed upon to include this cover with a picture of Ronnie's girlfriend, the model Ann Walker. The sessions were to be called "Focus on Ronnie Ross" but we thought "After Hours" would fit better - hence a last minute change.

I am indebted to gonzo, through whose alertness and diligence, we are just today almost certain that the second session had at least seven tunes. Only the four can be included here though as the remaining three are not available in reasonably good quality sound.

Please note that a password is now needed (see comments) - this has been included on gonzo's advice, which has also helped me with the restoration of this recording. The restoration was quite difficult in this instance, particularly because of a drop-out in track 8 which had to be filled. There are a few clicks left but not many I hope.

This is a rip from an LP but please do not be put off by this. It has been
restored with great care and sounds pretty good now though I say it myself!
If you do try it and think it's okay, please leave a comment to let others know
If you think it's not okay, say so and I'll go back to the drawing board!
Most of the items on this blog have been similarly restored where appropriate.

This one purports to be a live recording but it sounds very like a studio date to me, with applause dubbed in. Goodly number of solos from Ronnie. The title "Explosion" is hyperbole.

Update 2

That's good to know, gregory and charlie.

The idea is to post all suitable material here and then keep it current for as long as I can. I just went back through the posts as was surprised at how many there are. A mixed bunch, I know.

Let me know if there are any problems with the downloads.

Unlike most jazz blogs offering downloads (?), I do not worry at all if people do not post thanks or anything as the whole object for me is to preserve the music. I can see on Rapidshare how many times each item has been downloaded of course(not many yet!).

Also, please feel entirely free to duplicate them around anywhere you like - this might help my aim too. It would be nice if you could mention this blog if you do so though and then there might be more visitors.

I plan to try to spread the word more when the library is nearing completion. If any one has any suggestions about this, I would be pleased to hear them.

Thanks to all for your support. Still quite a lot to come.
