Ronnie Ross does play the baritone elsewhere on this gig. A lot of baritone and alto players double up as they're both Eb instruments (unlike the tenor and soprano in Bb).

Glorious version. More of these if you have them. Is this from 1960? 1961?

[pixaninny]

1965.

[stillavril]

Lovely crisp drumming from the late Alan Ganley.

@stillavril He's so deep in the grove, it's amazing. I gotta listen to more of his drumming, it's fantastic.

@pixaninny Do you have a decent recording of the 'Mexican Green' album to up-load? Mine's a cassette tape, about thirty years old so not really good enough.

drwinkle101, You are very biased and rather blind. The best of British musicians were in thrall to their own great talent, not teeny boppers. They were out-numbered by the sheer amount of players in the States, that's all. Our best were in the big league, make no mistake.

Yeah but he packed a lot more into his life than we ever will in ours.

@Drblooter99 i know...such a pitty

[Drblooter99]

How can a guy be so smart at music, and so fucked at the rest of his life?

Oh well, he wasn't the first.

Nor was Charlie Parker.

I've no tubby Hayes in my collection, I now don't know why!

[TSSC1030]

Sure, not really innovative. Not an American piece, though.

I can think of worse things to be in thrall to!

[drwinkle101]

@TSSC1030

Yes I heard that, and, as I said, just because some Brits were virtuosic players doesn't mean they were innovative.
