Saw Albany during that 1972 visit to the UK.  It was in an upstairs room in a pub, solo on an untuned upright piano. Not the best for the great master!

Is that where the record label got its name?

I'm sure it wasn't. 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!

I have this. 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.." ???

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.

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 .

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.

Dizzy solos briefly on a couple cuts -- but it's 100% Carmen's show.

I've started contacting the seller to see if they sell off,Discogs, some do. 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.

Sometimes I did the same, anyway I prefer buy in EU where shipping and VAT aren't such a pain.

One of the minor complaints in the AMG review is that the piano was untuned.
