I apologize for any jealousy I may cause, but the Roach quintet I saw (again at Manchester's Club 43) featured Charles Tolliver, Odean Pope, Stanley Cowell and Jymie Merritt. A bit of research tells me this was probably in 1967: https://www.wolfgangs.com/music/max-roach-quintet/audio/20020013-50737.html?tid=4850233

👍 I saw Carmell Jones a few years after this album was made at Club 43 in Manchester with a local rhythm section.

The Roberts/Fishwick group were a great outfit. I saw them at the Wigan Jazz Festival in the noughties. Then the Fishwicks and Osian turned up about 10 years ago at Southport in an Anglo-American sextet with Frank Basile, Jeb Patton and Mike Karn. Some great chat with Frank and Matt. Finally Osian appeared with local tenorman Liam Byrne a few years ago at Malcolm Frazer's house. Turns out both Osian and I have Cardiff origins. (Frank wrote "The Cardiff Giant" for him.)

I don't know the album, but I saw the film in Paris on its release in 1960. I recall that "Pannonica" was a haunting repeated theme. My original copy of the album had this attractive alternative cover:
