"This is a gem. It's one you'll want to play repeatedly." - The Denver Post, Jeff Bradley

This is truly a dream band of Jazz Legends, with Ron Carter on bass, Art Farmer on trumpet and flugelhorn, Cedar Walton on piano and Billy Higgins on drums. Four of the world’s most respected musicians (all honored as NEA Jazz Masters) come together for a scintillating night of jazz...live from New York’s Sweet Basil, one of the most prestigious and historic jazz clubs anywhere! This state-of-the-art production marks the first time these legendary musicians have played together on the same stage. A exhilarating performance, with all of them at their peak. They achieve a swinging ensemble sound, while maintaining a delightful interplay in their solo spots.

Serpent's Tears

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6
