BBC radio broadcast on December 13 1961, London

This session comes with thanks primarily to Derek Martin but also to Kuno Krook for reminding me of it. I originally decided not to include it because the recording quality is not particularly good but listening again, I changed my mind so here it is.

No solos by Ronnie Ross but he can be heard in the ensemble.

@Yewsta Agreed, nice to get a reminder of some of this BBC stuff, long gone as has the BBC's reputation for Jazz broadcasting I'm sad to say..

Yeah, too true! Humph, Peter Clayton, all the others - gone now. No idea what they do now, gave up long ago.

I found a cassette with a couple of Ronnie Ross compositions, recorded from someone's radio. They were pieces which appeared on Peter Clayton's BBC Radio 2 Sounds of Jazz programme in April 1980.

"Freddie Frown" and
"The Night Is Still A Child"

Many thanks, Andrew, for this very welcome contribution. There are three other versions of Freddie Frown on the blog but I have confirmed that this one is different. No other version of The Night is Still a Child is here - never heard it before!

I will post the material as a new item soon. The other tunes in the session are lost forever I guess - don't even know what they were - which is a great shame but very glad indeed to have these two. Thank you again.
