He's a really interesting character and has dabbled in so much. He recorded with Jutta Hipp on her 'At The Hickory House' recordings. Was Lee Konitz side-man for a while. He then recorded the likes of Booker Ervin, Lee Konitz and Zoot Sims in his Manhattan loft before setting up his own label (Wave) in the UK. During this time he was also a sound engineer for Atlantic, Verve and Bethlehem and worked on albums including Booker Ervin's 'The Book Cooks'. He then wrote a biography on Lennie Tristano that was written from his own perspective as a side-man. All whislt recording his own music as lead and also dabbling in classical/third-stream music.
Crazy how jam-packed of a career he has had.

Great knowledge to share! Those Jutta BN albums are gold (TP or BN classic fingers crossed). I enjoyed the bass playing on the YT sample I looked up. Joe Puma was on some good sessions also.

He sounds quite a bit like Nat King Cole...

This series is going to be really great if they maintain the quality. I was hoping they would be released in a single box set but I guess not. I might end up picking a few of these up, I have been on the search for originals for quite a while but when we are talking about £250+ for an OG or £30 for this I know which one I will go for!
It's a great album, definitely pick it up if you can
edit - just so I don't give the wrong impression, the packaging isn't like a Stoughton & probably won't be the hard wearing if it's not looked after, but it's a proper flip back with a great quality image, very similar to a lot of the sam records titles

I've got the window tilter on pre-order as well. I'll be interested to see what else comes out.

I actually did a bit of digging here. I guessed that the tracks from the compilation/sampler were taken from the upcoming titles in the series and it seems like I was correct.
Michael Gibbs - S/T
Stan Tracy - 7 Ages Of Man
The New Jazz Orchestra - Le Déjeuner Sur l'Herbe
Harry Beckett - Flare Up
Neil Ardley, Don Rendell & Ian Carr - Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises (an absolute monster rarity)
Alan Skidmore - Once Upon A Time
John Surman & John Warren - Tales of the Algonquin
Don Rendell - Space Walk
Ken Wheeler and the John Dankworth Orchestra - Windmill Tilter
Interestingly there is also tracks from other musicians/albums not listed here (eg Collin Bates Trio and Dick Morrissey).
Going to be one hell of a series
