I was hoping for an easy one (to guess) like something from Joe Henderson on Unity well done anyway

[Serial_Apologist]

It <should> be the McLaughlin, but I <bet> it's the Silver.

It's just got to be Bernard Stanley "Acker" Bilk MBE

[Tenor Freak]

grippie was close but no cigar

[burning dog]

I once requested a track from one of albums featured... any ideas?

[grippie]

Tenor, how's about Ken Colyer with Christie Bros

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

Finn Peters?

[Tenor Freak]

So, ten points to me as nobody guessed correctly.

Still I hope you liked it because I think it's a brilliant, haunting tune from a special album.

OG

[Tenor Freak]

Absolutely right OG, it was Morning Blues.

I saw the TV programme of the recording on Sky Arts a week or so before making the request. That is a great session; Wayne puts in an appearance on only a couple of tracks, and really it's a duo set of piano and guitar. I remember hearing the trio's version of Limbo (originally on Sorcerer) on Brian Priestley's Radio London show. On that, Wayne really rips into the changes on tenor. As this was recorded in '86, about a year after he left Weather Report, it must have been a relief not to have to struggle to be heard over Zawinul's keys.

Morning Blues is the standout track for me, so thanks again to Alyn and the JRR team for playing it.
