AND HIS ALL-STARS

BRITISH JAZZ (1956) & SWINGING SCOTS (1957)

Description:
The albums compiled on this CD represent the first LPs composer arranger Johnny Keating made under his own name. Keating first attracted attention in the '50s as the Ted Heath Orchestra's arranger, a role he continued to fill – on and off – until the early 1970s. The albums presented here feature a sizeable contingent of Ted Heath sidemen as well as notable jazz names such as Jimmy Deuchar trumpet, Tommy Whittle, Don Rendell tenor saxes, Ronnie Verrell drums and Johnny Hawksworth bass, among others. Under Keating's direction they display their virtuosity in impeccably executed big band numbers including Keating originals inc. Kiltie, Strictly for Kyx, Ultraviolet, Harry Roberts's sublime trombone vehicle Quads Talk feat. George Chisholm, Don Lusher, Keith Christie and Maurice Pratt and originals by Jimmy Deuchar Tam O' Shanter, Clachnacudan Local and pianist/vibes player Bill Le Sage inc. Last Resort, Good Life.
