Gwyn WilliamsI bought the vinyl LP in Cardiff in 1960/61 when life was easy, never dreaming that an unspeakable english Tory women would one day turn it all to shit. A mate who played tenor in a Cardiff night club thought it almost a perfect album, not one bum note anywhere. Ah the bliss of growing up then to music like this.
This was a very early if not the first album by Cannonball. He is responsible for a hotter live performance. However it is this album and his solo along with his brother Nat that I remember as a very young person.
I was babysitting for my late God son. I was maybe 13. This came on Sid McCoy in Chicago. My little puberty pals never, ever got it. Jazz lovers are chosen.
