COLUMBIA 33SX1637 VARIOUS 'Strike Up The Bard'
A curate's egg of an album, which can be divided up into two halves. Firstly this is a great UK big band jazz album of tunes on a Shakespearean them, featuring SHAKE KEANE (tp/fl-h)(-1), EDDIE BLAIR (tp)(-2) and KENNY BAKER (tp)(-3) directed from the piano by KEN JONES. The second half is made up mainly of ELAINE DELMAR (-4) singing Shakespearean songs accompanied by various combinations of recorders and viols. This is a first UK mono pressing with the black/blue label and flipback cover.
TITLES: * Stan Tracey composition.
