Sometimes jazz musicians treat a song with care, respect and affection. This is one of those times; Wonderful. Thanks for bringing this to us.

Unbelievable togetherness.The
tempo is amazing.

[@kurtanderson5349]

Simply lovely. Music that will endure, for those lucky few to hear it. Chris Blount is one of the greatest exponents of George Lewis-style playing I've ever heard.

[@PopsCoffee]

Very sad, Kurt, to think that he died in 1998, just three years after this recording was made.

[@williamford4377]

I am always baffled that there is such a huge disparity between the number of Views and the number of likes or dislikes? Can you listen through and still not make a decision? I think this is lovely stuff and such a joy that I can hear it after some of these guys have played their final notes. We will not get it again in a hurry.

Norman's muted playing is second to none.

This is the song the band plays in 'All Creatures Great and Small' when he pulls Helen. Its brilliant and so is the BBC series

HELPS TO HEAL BRUISES FROM LONG AGO

[@christopherstead4466]

Just good stuff but the young will never hear it sadly

[@jimperkins39]

how come this is a bigbillbissonette site and no sign of him?

[@molckh]

Sadly he passed away...

[@barrygrummett8057]

I was the piano player on this recording. Also in Chris Blounts band. Big Bill selected British musicians that he wanted to record together. Bill selected the tunes. He booked the venue and recorded us. Barry Grummett
