Tommy Whittle at Blaydon Jazz Club, 6th June 2002 - Blues in the Closet.

Tommy Whittle - one of the greats in the lineage of UK tenor sax players.
He was such a lovely person and made it so easy for the other musicians. He played marvellously on each of his three visits. Recorded at Blaydon House Sports & Social Club.
With Billy Harper (piano), Mick Shoulder (bass), Billy Shield (drums), Roly Veitch (guitar).

Superb rendition, with marvelous work from all involved. The enthusiastic response at the end is entirely warranted!

Thank you. I was looking through a collection of CDs and found this recording and had completely forgotten about it. When I played the CD I was surprised at the recording quality (I think it was probably with Billy Harper's Sony Walkman with those minidiscs). Happy Days.

Great, Tommy Whittle blowing up a storm, with a good rhythm section. Good post.
