What's Spinning

Dizzy Reece & Tubby Hayes - Changing the Jazz at Buckingham Palace (Savoy, 1957 First Mono Pressing)

Ignoring the cheesy title and photo, which was clearly used as a gimmick in the US market, this session is absolutely fantastic. Its a wonder that Hayes and Reece didn't get much recognition in the states during their prime (even though they both recorded over there). In fact, after Alfred Lion played a recording of Reece and Hayes to Art Blakey, the drummer was so impressed that he seriously considered hiring them both as part of his jazz messengers.

My collection #1087-1088

Little Simz - Grey Area
Galaxy

My favourite recent rap albums have both been British and this is one of them (Dave is the other). Plus, something of an oddity - one of my main African sellers often incudes something for free in each order and sometimes it's crap and sometimes it's like this from the wonderful Carribean label Disque Debs.
