Although this provincial pub did have a bit of a jazz aspect. The only other time I dropped in there I found a trad band rehearsing Morton Red Hot Pepper numbers, and getting all the voicings right!

Is it possible it was during the time, when BN had slowed down it´s business , so 1976 /77 that period. I haven´t listened to it recently, I´m not soooo much into vocal jazz with the exception of a few, Billy Eckstine (with the bop band), Earl Coleman, Johny Hartman etc.... and if female singer than Sarah with that first session with "Lover Man"....), but I bought this one since I think somewere is written "feat. Dizzy Gillespie"..... well if I remember right, I didn´t hear much Diz, is it possible that he just plays on his mouthpeace only on "T´Aint Nobody´s Bizness.." ??? 15 hours ago, adh1907 said: Interesting. Do you remember where that was? You could see some major US jazzers in the most obscure places in the 70s. I didn’t go but I remember seeing posters for Dexter Gordon mid 70s in Preston, appearing in a pub or a small club. Anthony London Well the first half of the 70´s was an extremly rough period for acoustic jazz veterans... I remember how it was and how it started to become better in the late 70´s .

porcy62 Posted April 19, 2022 Report Share Posted April 19, 2022 Just received it from Japan with another two records. I'll give up buying records on discogs outside EU. VAT, and the shipping cost, due to the new discogs policy, rise the prices to the insane category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pay by PayPal and you have the same protection. Also worth googling the seller name, sometimes brings up a standalone website for sales. But the VAT is a huge issue generally now.
