Stan Tracey: Under Milk Wood (Columbia 1965)
Posted on October 8, 2008 by Folkishienne
Comped by Peterson, known by many, inspired by Dylan Thomas - I need to include the track Starless and Bible Black in this chart for the simple reason it is one of the most emotive, and tragically deep British Jazz cuts I’m aware of. Bobby Wellins whispering treatment on tenor sax is simply spellbinding, Tracey’s sparse and somber keys frame the cut and qualify it IMHO as a truly great recording. Seeing this cut performed live at the Jazz Britannia gig was an incredible experience and one I am unlikely to forget.
