Billy playing tightly as part of an ensemble along with Luther Thomas and Frank Lowe. The horns are fairly dominant so it is a little different to some of the other Billy Bang records I have heard like Vietnam or Outline, where the violin is more prominent as a lead. Quote

Interesting, thanks. It's such a strong line up of musicians I couldn't see it not delivering Quote
mjazzg Posted May 16, 2020 Report Posted May 16, 2020 Johnny Scott Quintet - Purcell Variations For Five [Fontana] New arrival. The music is a lot better than the cover image...the Variations have nothing to do with the estimable Henry as it is. Quote

It seems like a short while ago that all the players on this album were playing around Dallas, but alas every single one except the pianist (the one unfamiliar name) is now deceased. Quote

The title might well have been because the punters were tipping out of the door. Full to capacity apparently and according to Simon Spilletts fine notes the overflow (lots of them) had to peer in through the front windows. Legendary gig in Morecambe by all accounts !

Those uncomfortable circumstances are exactly how I saw (but didn't hear) Al Haig at a packed-to-capacity Band on the Wall, Manchester in the 1970s. Quote
