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.

Thanks Yewsta for "All The Winners" This will be listened to with great pleasure. Keep 'em coming. Best wishes.

That's encouragement indeed, aroonie. I hope I can "keep 'em coming" - although I have quite a few times said here that "that seems to be the end", other things do crop up occasionally. As I've also often said, I do try to avoid things that are readily available and are within the fifty year limit. Hopefully, people who try something here will go on to acquire some of the music by Ronnie that is still available.

When did you sneak this one in without telling the jazzman. Or did you? You probably did and my mind is just going. In any event thank you.

Thank You for posting this wonderful music - as a late baby boomer (born in 1956) these sounds conjure up the wonderful atmospheres of my childhood - especially the vibraphone - with best wishes and appreciation for all your work - arshille

yewsta said...

arshille - thank you for all your supporting comments - most welcome.

I will again take this opportunity to say that there is just a little more Ronnie Ross music in the pipeline but it may be a couple of months or so before it is ready. In the melting pot though - can't be sure of it yet. Keep an irregular eye open here.

I never did get a clean copy of this - better late than never.
