Mick I found this on an old reel-to-reel recording which I had kept as it had Alexis Korner's first broadcast on it. Recorder was only a few weeks old, 21st birthday present. It grieves me that whilst masses of rubbish is available , it is difficult to get recordings of many great British Jazzers, Sandy Brown and Alex Welsh to name but two other fine musicians. John
Mick ran a corner shop in Easebourne village, near Midhurst, West Sussex when I was in my teens in the 60's so we started a jazz club at the Egmont Arms but preferred to only be there when Mick & the Staine St jazzmen were available. I remember singing 'Blue Moon' with the band playing, great days. Melly would drop in as did Diz Disley, think of that happening today !!!
