Summary
British drummer Tony Kinsey had a long career as a player, composer and arranger. His mid-1950's groups played pretty uncompromising jazz but were commercially successful - a rarity! This version of his group's records on Esquire and Decca features Jamaican alto sax player Joe Harriott, pianist/vibist Bill Le Sage (who composed half the tunes) and a variety of bass players. Tenor player Don Rendell is heard in the live session and two tracks with the group backing singer Lita Roza.
