Jazz 625: The Benny Golson Orchestra

on BBC Two England

Benny Golson began his career as a tenor sax player and worked with Tadd Dameron, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, and later Art Farmer. His compositions 'Whisper not' and 'I remember Clifford' have become jazz standards.
In this 1964 recording from BBC2's Jazz 625 archive he directs a 24-piece British band, augmented to include euphonium, four horns, two oboes and cor anglais, playing a selection of his own exciting arrangements.
Among the soloists featured: Jimmy Deuchar (trumpet) the late and much missed Tubby Hayes (tenor sax) Keith Christie (trombone) Dave Goldberg (guitar).
Introduced by Steve Race.
