Thanks for that link which I have just got around to following up. Coincidentally, I have just put a Tubby Hayes reminiscence on another thread .

Me too.

My first-ever visit to the old Ronnie Scott's was to see Zoot Sims and Al Cohn, in 1965. The gig was already underway - I'd arrived late after getting permission off from the waitering job I was then doing at the Lyons Corner House around the corner - and the only seat was next to Johnny Butts's drums, so I had to listen through a tsunami of drumming technique, though a customer leaving in the interval meant I then had full front seat exposure to the two tenors. I don't recall who was on bass, though I do remember Stan Tracey's scrunchy chords and wishing I had a piano in my 5 quid a week bedsit so I could work them out for myself! With my wages at just £7 a week I had only been able to afford the Flamingo or the Marquee a couple of times before that date, which I'd had to save up for!

Here they are, in rather shaky footage from Jazz 625, I would guess, though dress codes look earlier than it says:

Bass...could be? "Jack Sharpe's fourth (produced) such effort, again taped at Lansdowne Studios in Notting Hill Gate, this time on the afternoon of Sunday June 27th 1965, was designed to showcase Cohn and Sims alongside their regular Scott club accompanists, Stan Tracey, bassist RICK LAIRD and drummer Jackie Dougan and two further guests, Peter King and Sharpe himself."

Yes, could well have been Rick Laird.

I think this is really lovely, Irene Reig (alto sax) with her quartet..."Ca 'lana". She's from Catalonia (Barcelona) and I like the pieces I've seen of her, often in larger ensembles.

A new name to me and I was really surprised just how young she is. I think she is jut 25. Looking her up on line, she is now based in Holland. This track really puts me in mind of Art Pepper.

Thanks for the heads up. I liked that track.

Yes. But I think it's her pianist who has the edge. I'd go and see her down my local, but wouldn't buy the CD.

There seems to be a whole scene in Barcelona around the educator Joan Chamorro who leads the Sant Andreu Jazz Band, the Catalan NYJO. Andrea Motis is the best-known, a vocalist who also plays trumpet. She is also 25.

Here's an example off the 'Tube. Not really my bag but well played, and Andrea seems to have that thing going on with non-native English speakers when they sing standards, where it sounds more exotic and relaxed. She seems to be very good on the Brazilian bossa repertoire, mind you. And I do dig Scott Hamilton's playing.

Example 2, Andrea plays a fine trumpet solo on this as well.

And then it was on a plane, and then over here; and as well as the stuff they then did the rest is all the influence they had on our guys. Louis is now 80.
