About 42 Years Later

(2-CD Set) This time we hit the big time with two legendary sax men, the composer and band leader John Dankworth and famed Humphrey Lyttleton sideman Danny Moss. These two veterans have not recorded together for 42 years since the days when Moss was first in the Dankworth Big Band from 1957-1962 and later when he joined the Lyttleton line up. This Quintet recording features other such great British jazz sidemen as Dave Lee on piano who played with Dankworth back in the 50's, Allan Ganley on drums again a member of the big band from 1953-55 and John Horler on piano currently playing with the present Dankworth/Cleo Laine line up. These seasoned musicians take you through a set of classics including numbers by Duke Ellington, Count Basie and John Dankwoth himself. Rehearsed and recorded in a single day they don't make 'em like this any more.
