BillF

Simon Spillett has Tubby Hayes' tenor - appropriately.

I remember Ed Dipple telling me about seeing that group at Club 43 in Manchester. IIRC Roswell Rudd was with them. That's the one Bill, plus Grachan Moncur and Beaver Harris. So sorry I missed them. I didn't turn out on that occasion. Must have been round about the time of this album:

Just seen the Karen Sharp Quartet at Royal Northern College of Music. Karen Sharp (tnr), Nikki Iles (pno), Dave Green (bs), Steve Brown (dms) Concert hall performance with perfect miking and sound balance. Sat in best seat in the house - middle of 3rd row back from the stage. Some interesting material, including Kenny Werner's "Compensation" and Bill Evans' "Show Type Tune". I'm convinced that Steve Brown is a world class drummer, but I expect few people outside the UK will have heard of him.
