A standout piece from Jaco Pastorius' "Word of Mouth" album which featured the genius of Toots Thielemans' harmonica playing.
Julian Siegel's brilliant composition from his "Urban Theme Park" album. Following the exciting agitato solo sections the glorious concluding chorale is reminiscent of Gerald Finzi's ecclesiastical writing.
Another Roland Kirk composition this time from the "Return Visit" NYC album with a 3 tenor saxophone frontline of Kirk, James Moody and our very own Tubby Hayes.
