love Ray's fuzzy, muscular guitar freakout vibe inside a horn band motif. like Terry Kath on acid. really digging all the Russell releases. this one has a different vibe obviously. keep more Russell jams coming please! 3cd
I saw most of these guys play in many different lineups many years ago but here all together they show such inventiveness and telepathy and swing.
Great stuff. auster boy south
Mike Osborne was a very special musician...I remember him as quietly intense and thoughtful and not a seeker of the limelight...I must have seen him play dozens of times in many small venues from ‘68 to ‘75 or so...I loved his playing...a high end technician but full of heart as well as head...I still listen to his music a lot on the original vinyl and i’m so pleased this gig has surfaced.
Hugh respect to Jazz In Britain for their whole initiative...you have made an old man very happy... John Cratchley
This is a rare treat. The London Jazz Scene of the 60s, 70s was extraordinary. An era of great charts, superb players and increasing innovation. This exudes a confidence and a scene reaching for its own unique voice. John Fenton
