Welcome back, you know its 6 months since you posted any thing new :-((
No critisism of course, its hard to find anything that you have not posted already, but you are in my reading list, just in case one magic day something new will turn up..
Seeing that U-tube video reminded me that I have that session complete as was compiled by the BBC, introduced by Steve Race in 1965. The first session is indeed with RR and others
and leads into sessions from John Dankworth, Cleo Laine, Victor Feldman, Tony Kinsey, Annie Ross, and others, finishing up with a final play out from JD & CL, the whole thing is 1.3gigs long 4 by 3
monochrome. If you do not have it, I could make a DVD for you..
Nothing new to post unfortunately, Gonzo, but I still keep my eyes open just in case. Not much chance of anything now but you never know.
Yes please, Gonzo! I was thinking about asking if anyone might have it but didn't feel it was at all likely. There is a version of "Times Two and a Half" featuring Johnny Scott, also by the Bill le Sage New Directions in Jazz unit but Ronnie Ross does not solo. The sound quality of both tunes leaves a lot to be desired though. I wonder if you have any more tunes or is it just the two. Whatever, a DVD would be extremely welcome. You have made my day.
