"We want to export British jazz to America. Find the best men". That was the excuse for this January 1954 Tempo session in wintery London, England. Outside it was snowing; thirteen of Britain's finest modern jazz musicians, led by trumpeter Jimmy Deuchar, were assembled in a freezing studio. But by the end of the day, they had produced nine classic tracks, over 51 minutes of exciting jazz. Features Jo Hunter, Keith Christie, Don Rendell, Jimmy Skidmore, Dill Jones, Derek Smith & others.
