ASNL77 Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 There is a very good article on Dankworth's career in the Jazz Review magazine this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalo Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Dankworth. A perfectly Dickensian name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 There is a very good article on Dankworth's career in the Jazz Review magazine this month. Yes, it's a good one - notice that there's a brief mention of the background to the 'Windmill Tilter' session. I wonder what could have happened to the promised CD issue of that one?

ejp626 Posted August 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Yes, it's a good one - notice that there's a brief mention of the background to the 'Windmill Tilter' session. I wonder what could have happened to the promised CD issue of that one? It is mysterious. If they can't find the tapes, and it is going to be a needle-drop like a lot of the reissued Stan Tracey, surely it could have come out by now. Anyway, I think there are two more days to listen to the show on-line. I finally got a chance this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
