Liner notes carefully
crafted by noted jazzophile Peter Vacher, give a marvellous insight
into these remarkably fresh and light recording made in the late 1950s.
The personnel listing alone reads like a who's who of the British
Jazz scene and rightfully refers to its performers as "All Stars"
which indeed they were! In fact, many are still performing today,
bless 'em! With a thoroughly good digital cleanup, and captivating
artwork, these 12 tracks are a must for any collector of British jazz
from this important and, some would say, formative era.
