The Delta Jazz Band with Colin Bowden featuring Jim Holmes - "The Delta Jazz Band with Colin Bowden"
Catalogue Note:
This excellent CD by one of UK’s top bands was also recorded at the 2005 Lee Bay Jazz Weekend. Sonny Morris formed the Delta Jazz Band in 1990 and I had the privilege of recording them at West Lulworth in 1993 for a CD of Hymns & Sprituals (PKCD-024). Subsequently ten years later, and two years after Sonny’s death, a CD of unissued live recordings, also from the band’s 1993 visit to West Lulworth, was released (PKCD-232). Now 12 years after that original recording I am delighted to offer you this CD. The line-up is Jim Holmes trumpet, Terry Giles clarinet & alto sax, Roy Maskell trombone, Andy Maynard banjo, John Sirett double bass, Colin Bowden drums. They are joined by Dave Soby (piano) on three tracks. The tunes are:- Savoy Blues, Corrine Corrina, Tuck Me To Sleep In My Old Kentucky Home, Someday You’ll Be Sorry, One Sweet Letter From You, If I Had My Life To Live Over, Muskrat Ramble, A Kiss To Build A Dream On, My Memphis Baby, See See Rider, Smiles, Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross, Tiger Rag. (74 min)
