Most unusual, quite innovative, very different!

  • @raymondlang The band made two LPs for Philips in 1964 and 1965 "Directions In jazz" and "Road To Ellingtonia" (Night Talk comes from the Directions in Jazz LP). I recently saw a copy of this LP on sale at Foyles in London for £150. It was only ever issued in mono, as was the Ellingtonia LP. The arrangements used for the strings are the same as on the disc, but the solos are different of course especialy Ron, Bob Burns and Bill

  • Great to see the hugely talented John Scott playing both sax and flute on this!

  • The Mrs Peel Avengers music sessions would have had most of these players travelling to Elstree studios every week to play on the episode sessions at one time or another. As well as being jazzmen they were also London's top recording session players of the time

  • I love the string arrangement on this..so unique and unusual.

    I wonder if this sound is on any of their albums from the early 60s?

    Reminds me of my favourite tv show The Avengers! (The Mrs. Peel years)

  • Absolutly GREATTTT....was here for Ronnie Ross...All the b

  • This is what I call Jazz...GREAT...Thanks for posting.

  • This is fantastic!

    I love bari sax, even though it looks like the pipes under the sink.

  • Spike Heatley on 5 string upright bass....fabulous player...and Tony Carr at the drums...fabulous drummer = a rythym section supreme...

  • I have the original lp. This is my favorite in my collection. Thank you this video, It is big suprise !!!
