"3 Classic Albums Plus" is a comprehensive CD collection featuring the exceptional jazz trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar. This release brings together three of his most celebrated albums, showcasing his unique style and significant contribution to the British modern jazz scene during the 1950s and 1960s. Known for his lyrical trumpet playing and sophisticated arrangements, Deuchar collaborated with legends such as Tubby Hayes and Ronnie Scott, leaving an indelible mark on European jazz. The set includes bonus tracks that further highlight his versatility and artistry. Produced by Real Gone Jazz, a label renowned for its high-quality reissues of classic jazz recordings, this compilation offers both newcomers and longtime fans an essential listening experience while preserving important moments in jazz history.
Loads of very nice standards like "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," I Could Write a Book," and "Bewitched. . ." some very cool baritone (and tenor) sax by Tubby Hayes, too. For my taste, the trumpet playing is better when not muted. Some of the tracks on the Victor Feldman EP seem to be lower recording quality. . .other than that, pretty good sound. Nice cardboard packaging and all personnel listed.
