    Just as good as Blue Bogey IMHO and including another London Caribbean jazzer of those days, trumpeter Shake Keane, so called because he had been studying English Literature at London University and was a fan of Will Shakespeare's.

    Personal touch: pianist Terry Shannon and drummer Bill Eyden are on both dates, bassist Jeff Kline on Africa Calling. I saw Tubby Hayes with these three on several occasions in Manchester during 1961.

    My impression is that Lonehill is just one of a whole stable of labels that Catalan entrepreneur Jordi Pujol operates. I see no sign that he's gone out of business. This page from his website gives you the idea: https://www.freshsoundrecords.com/labels

    Africa Calling it is, and it's available, together with Blue Bogey, on Spotify.

    Interesting Isherwood/Bellow comparison there! I've read and seen at some time or other all you mention in this post. Highlights were Seize the Day and History Man. Sense and Sensibility was hard going at school at the age of 16 when my main interest was rock 'n roll.
