Mike Taylor Quartet - Son Of Red Blues

Mandala

by The Mike Taylor Quartet

supported by

ken79ton What a find, and this mid 1960s Southend date has to be a way more exhilarating ride than anything offered over at the Kursaal at the time! Favorite track: Son Of Red Blues.

Simon Wilson More magical moments from a troubled genius. Gone at 30. Criminal.
Many thanks to Jazz In Britain.
