Description
Don Rendell - one of the elder statesmen of British jazz and one of its most admired and respected musicians - has played with so many of the greats: Ted Heath, John Dankworth, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman and Billie Holliday (as part of her band for a recorded gig in Manchester) and with his own band opposite the likes of Gerry Mulligan and the MJQ. And that was just the 1950's. Since then he has worked with a large number of the best of British and American musicians - Ian Carr, Michael Garrick, Barbara Thompson, Robin Jones and Dave Green, to name but a few of the British players. This set - recorded in 1973 - captures some of Rendell's best live playing to date.
Personnel: Don Rendell (flute, soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone), Joe Palin (piano), Ian Taylor (bass), Gordon Beckett (drums) and featured guest: Pete Martin (trumpet)
