Faces Part 1
(also look for Part 2 -5)
The Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band
In my opinion one of the best Bands ever playing a Suite by Francy Boland called "Faces".
Every Musician in the Band gets his solospot and is filmed in a more private environment.
For you all to enjoy.

Lol Art Farmer playing in the section while Watkins solos ... that's where high notes get you - out the front of the band - showcased. Remember 'the' Cat ? And countless others including the man himself Maynard.

@tobiwan1977 That's right, he was injured in a mugging i Cologne 1968, and Phil Woods temporarely took over the lead-alto. Humble went back to London, playd a little with amongst others Phil Seaman before he passed 22 February 1971

Unique big band. Boland truly was a master arranger.

Wait, there were 2 drummers playing at the same time? I'm confused.

Free jazz, folks, and I mean FREE. Scoredaddy, myself, and a few other bloggers go to a lot of effort to buy, rip - from LP and CD - scan at the highest quality we can. We do not make available some half-assed crap. You get from us the best available.

Why do the germans have all that exclusive stuff. Incredible how rich they were in art production.

Faces was released as an LP , who knows if its on CD. Sure Google would turn it up if it exists.

What i heard was that Derek got severely injured in a street fight in cologne in 1968, he never fully recovered and died from a stroke 1971.
And sorry i got no exact recording date of this.
