I found the original lp tracks more enjoyable than expected. 

I too picked this up following its recent discussions here. The original album is better than fine but i'd certainly return to the bonus tracks first

Worth the entry fee for the first track alone

I was in the audience for 2 or 3 of the tracks on this album (and fellow board member jazzscriven was probably there for all of them :)). Agree that the first track is a standout and the sound is surprisingly good, considering that these were not official recordings.

I thought I could hear your applause...

The longer tracks work best. It's a shame they didn't make it a double package and maintain more of the band playing on each piece to provide greater context for Gare's solos. Sounds fine for what this is, a fond memorial

Yes, it would have been nice to hear longer band performances but given the remit, a fine tribute to Lou Gare I think. It was always good to see him on tenor in that band in tandem with Gary Bayley - more recent lineups have also had the excellent Alan Wakeman.

Must mention the forthcoming ‘Granite’ commission by the Westbrooks - being premiered in Ashburton, Devon in the near future. Jazzsciven actually commissioned it, so I guess he will be there ! :D
