Clarke Boland Sextet – Music For The Small Hours (180gr.)

Back in Stock!

Had it not been for the post-war migration of many top American jazz musicians to Europe, it is quite likely that the legendary Clarke-Boland Big Band might never have come into existence.

In between the much-acclaimed, epic recordings made by the C-BBB big band, there were a number of memorable small group sessions, featuring key sidemen from the big band, which over the years have tended to be forgotten. Happily much of this small group material is finally being made available on LP/ CD and this is one of three compilations which will assuredly be heartily welcomed by Clarke-Boland fans the world. This album derives from the 20-track compilation Calypso Blues (Berlin, 1965) by the same sextet. The predominant rhythm here is Latin, as established by the opening track.
