A good friend of mine is a huge Beatles fan and co-wrote this book about 40 years ago. It's basically a travel photo book of English locations associated with the Beatles.
Never heard of this film before, but caught a few minutes of it on TCM last week and was surprised to see some of these musicians. Not familiar with a lot of them, but a few are pretty obvious. Brubeck gets a few lines and playing a tune.
Dave Brubeck - Piano
John Dankworth - Alto Sax (as Johnny Dankworth)
Charles Mingus - Bass
Bert Courtley - Trumpet
Keith Christie - Trombone
Ray Dempsey - Guitar
Allan Ganley - Drums
Tubby Hayes - Tenor Sax and Vibes
Barry Morgan - Bongos
Kenny Napper - Bass
Colin Purbrook - Piano
John Scott - Alto Sax and Flute (as Johnny Scott)
I just scrolled through his Facebook page and there's no mention of any upcoming release at all. My guess is that this is some sort of reissue (maybe gray market?).
My best friend knows him pretty well and I've met him a few times. Nice guy.
I saw a similar lineup (w/Flo & Eddie) in 71 at Pauley Pavillion, UCLA when they recorded "Just Another Band from L.A."
After the Hot Rats disappointment, I'd have to see what's in this set before thinking about getting it.
