I believe this tune was on the "Sax No End" album, as The Turk. The LP cover, which can be seen on Amazon's website, gets my vote for Nicest Ever.....
the best solo i heard was a battle between ronnie stephenson and kenny clare on an album talkin about drums. on the drum spectacular album. amazing. hear it on drummerworld.
Yeah, I also went down to that shed in South London in 1978 for a drum lesson with this great man. I just asked him to play so I could watch for an hour. SSSSSuperb
Wonderful stuff! I had a drum lesson with the great Kenny Clare (in a shed at the bottom of a garden somewhere in South London). I remember his snare drum being wrinkled like a Yorkshire pudding. He was a lovely man and probably the finest, and most instantly recognisable, drummer this country has ever produced.
Oh man, I love that. Putting a wrinkle in the head to get that sound. I always LOVED that flat, wet sound he got in the studio. Hal Blaine also had that sound over here in the U.S. And for the longest time, I couldn't figure out why I liked the Partridge Family albums so much......until I found out Hal was playing on them, of course.

A different version of this tune was released on the album, but Benny Bailey's ending solo is fabulous on BOTH versions.
