4 1/2 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE
I decided of the date after hearing Benny and Roy playing together at the Edinburgh Jazz Festival. Ronnie Scott was in town, so I was able
to grab Ron and Martin. Local piano hero Alex Shaw made upm the rhythm. The night before the event I got hold of Joe Temperley. A studio
was available and without the least semblance of rehearsal the band launched into a freewheeling joyous set. It shouldn’t have worked but it did and that’s jazz. - Hep producer Alastair Robertson
