Directions In Jazz by The Directions In Jazz Unit directed by Bill Le Sage
Philips BL7625
1964 album by talented pianist and vibes player Bill le Sage merging jazz and strings extremely well. Highly respected musicians such as Ronnie Ross, Johnny Scott and Bob Burns play lovely solos. Has the feeling of a precursor to Laurie Johnson's Synthesis and even Neil Ardley's Greek Variations. Highly enjoyable. If you want to get a flavour of some of this LP there's a couple of videos on youtube including this one
