Billy Jenkins

SAD

Babel

Album description

The first Blues Collective recording. Billy Jenkins takes all the solos, Thad Kelly and Mike Pickering hold down the groove, organist Dave Ramm and harp player Whispering Gerry Tighe gently caress the melancholia.

The Fun Horns of Berlin are just some of the guests. Contains the classics 'Pissed Off Boy', 'Jazz Had A Baby (And They Called It Avant Garde)' and many others. In fact - twelve tunes. One for each bar of the blues....

The album's a winner for style and quirky British originality .
Mel Wright / Blueprint
