a link with Furry is they both knew each other and played at same time. Stokes died in '55 before the great revival..

This is much better than you might think. :)
Spinning Slow Drag Blue Note Tone Poet for the first time this afternoon, and am pretty much in awe of the sonics. Apparently it was recorded at a time when Rudy had perfected his recording setup, so it may have had a head start, but the Tone Poet brings out an astonishing level of clarity and detail. I've streamed this at least a half dozen times over the last few months and haven't heard the nuances I'm hearing now...and almost didn’t go through with my order…Higgins' vocals pop on title track and his dampening kick drum is clearer than ever on "Jelly Roll" plus Cedar Wilson on “The Loner” really catches my ear ….Certainly glad I picked this one up

Today first up was
Tsuyoshi Yamamoto With The Strings - Star Dust , top drawer Japanese jazz with ‘strings’ .. my Discogs review follows
Simply stunning and engaging piano led trio with super accompanient of strings, the album kicks off with the title track "Star Dust" where the strings are very much in a supporting role while adding a lot, and in fact that is a constant with the album the Strings all arranged by Shoji Yokouchi support but never take over building from background to forming a prominence that ultimately makes a pedastal for Piano, bass or drums.
"La Vie En Rose" is a lovely enchanting track played with sensitivity and yet a sense of fun.
This track leads us to "Misty" Errol Garner's song to whom the album is dedicated, this version of misty is such a beautiful arrangement conveying every ounce of the emotion of the song, it is of course the track that made Tsuyoshi's name, here it is taken to a much higher place thanks to the strings.
"There Is No Greater Love" shows off in a rather understated way the piano playing of Mr Yamamoto with fabulous repeated notes echoing the violin playing.
The strings take center stage to start off "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" which is a delightful contrast in opening the track from hearing the Trio having played it without strings on another album and then we have
"She's Funny That Way" which is a new track to me and once again a sublime arrangement whereby the strings really compliment the Trio and piano.
"Blues For Erroll" is another super track this time the strings are arranged to hold back and only make an appearance when needed for emphasis or to build a bridge between parts of the song, which builds in a lovely soft way throughout.
The final track is "Time After Time"this has a deep sadness expressed in the emotion of te arrangement almost perfectly conveying the feeling of the end of a wonderful affair that then brightens up towards the end almost as if emotionally looking forward to life in the future and joys to come.

Harry South the Songbook 4 cd box set
It’s fabulous .. Tubby Hayes Orchestra, Ronnie’s Quintet, Joe Harriott Quintet, Humphrey Littleton Big Band, Dick Morrissey Quartet, Harry South Big Band it goes on and on all tip top and including The Sweeney theme for those that know the cop tv series, plus a really interesting booklet included so all in all a great set to have, within lots of really swinging jazz not just all Big Band stuff
Harry South - The Songbook
https://i.discogs.com/oNkDtQ3lnrejzP...wMy5qcGVn.jpeg
The studio is dark; voices can be heard approaching its main doors. Soon, a flick of a switch brings light, which reveals a white walled room full of musical instruments of every shape and size, glistening under the rays thrust upon them, all fighting for space with a plethora of recording equipment already set up. The voices heard earlier, now file in through the doors. The room falls silent as a piano lid is lifted to reveal black and white keys that stare back at the man now carefully placing his long fingers upon them. Ok chaps he says, shall we give the first number a run through? The arranger had arrived, the process had begun... Harry South may not be a household name in the UK, but among its jazz world of the 50s to the late 60s, it was held in very high esteem. Even when jazz fell into a sharp decline in the UK mainstream in the late 1960s, you couldn t hold a man like Harry South back. By then, mainly writing for film, theatre and TV, he composed perhaps one of the most iconic television themes of all time The Sweeney.
This set contains over 60 tracks all written by Harry, the majority of them from the decade 1956-1966 when British jazz was at its peak and ranges through soul jazz, bebop, Latin stylings and funky 60s big band sounds. The Harry South family have kindly
allowed us to access their archives and most of the tracks are receiving their first release. “Sure, you can learn a lot listening to other people on record but Harry taught me more than I ever got from records” Tubby Hayes said in 1957
