GA Russell Posted 23 hours ago Report Posted 23 hours ago It's no secret that I'm a fan of compilations. That reminds me. With St. Valentine's Day coming up, I need to pull out my Plays for Lovers CDs! However, part of the appeal of a compilation is that it is a cheap way to learn about folks you are not familiar with. Five dollars per CD is right, not ten. Quote

I think I probably have around 90% of the tracks and imagine that Brit Jazz fans would probably have around the same. A few I don't know eg Satisfaction (the band) but almost all the tracks have been found on albums reissued in the past 10-15 years. Much as I love this stuff I don't have room for another box set that duplicates most of my collection, even with liner notes by Duncan Heining. However, for anyone not familiar with this ouevre, this probably represent a good primer for the "Golden Age" of British Jazz. https://www.cherryred.co.uk/various-artists-a-new-awakening-adventures-in-british-jazz-1966-1971-3cd-box-set Quote
