A lovely reminder. Wonderful facial expressions. I am sure he used to talk to the bass whilst playing.
Brian Dee another favourite who I would like to hear again.
Jim a mere youngster.
Thanks.

Brian Dee too also a regular on ‘Sounds of Jazz’. By coincidence, I saw Len Skeat and Brian Dee about 5 years ago as part of a Billie Holliday tribute which included Alan Barnes.

I remember one early 80s gig at Ronnie Scott’s where they were filming Woody Herman and the camera was literally at my back, for a 30 minute show within a show. It went out live and I never saw it - nor to my knowledge has it ever been rebroadcast !

Yet another excellent piece by Richard Williams from his bluemoment blog - Wes Montgomery and (unknown to me) Martial Solal

Pat Metheny’s favourite album (apparently).

And I think on physical formats from Resonance?
Was anyone able to compare the sound quality of the half-speed remaster with the original ? If so, I’d love to hear your comments.

I did too - we might have bumped into each other !
Agreed. Recorded the following day.

No, I dont own an original. On it’s own merit I think it sounds fine, I doubt anyone would be disappointed with SQ or pressing
