Catalogue Note:
In November 2005 I went, for the first time, to the Lee Bay Jazz Weekend where I recorded some fine bands, including two great sessions by Colin Kingwell’s Jazz Bandits. This CD is the result. It is fifty years since Colin formed his Jazz Bandits - few band-leaders can claim that length of service to jazz! The line-up is Nigel Hunt trumpet, Ron Rumbol clarinet & alto sax, Colin Kingwell trombone, Dave Fawcett banjo, Peter Brooks double bass, Malc Murphy drums. The tunes are:- Silver Bell, Down In Jungle Town, Highways Are Happy Ways, A Porter’s Love Song To A Chambermaid, The Last Mile Of The Way, One Sweet Letter From You, After The Ball, Isle Of Capri, Buddy’s Habit, The Magic Isle, Laughing Samba, Smiles, Give Me Your Telephone Number, Home, Get Out Of Here And Go On Home.
