James Clay

[Ian Thumwood]

I know my friend Jazzrook shares my passion for Don Cherry's brilliant album "Art Deco" and therefore he might be interested to read this article about the tenor player on the session, James Clay. I didn't realise that he had recorded as frequently as he had. An interesting review.

Cheers, Ian. A fascinating article on a very underrated tenorist. I can recommend 'Presenting Red Mitchell' if you don't already have it.
Also, here he is on flute on 'Pavanne' from the hard-to-find(at a reasonable price) 'A Double Dose Of Soul':
