Thanks, Jazzbo, for reviving this thread from before my time with the board. Although I saw the Clarke Boland Big Band play at Manchester's Free Trade Hall (in 1978 or 79?) and went to a Kenny Clarke drum clinic the following day, it's only this year that I've got round to buying any of their records. I now have All Smiles, More Smiles, All Blues and Sax No End, the last two now combined on Two Originals. Of these, I think my favorite is Sax No End, which Peter Friedman draws attention to back in the thread. Am now listening to David Brent Johnson's 2005 shows on the CBBB: thanks for the link! Better late than never!
I'm also a big fan and have most of their recordings. Three Latin Adventures is a must have , as are Open Door, Change Of Scenes with Stan Gtetz and November Girl with Carmen McRae.
