The Oracle: The Ron Mathewson Tapes Vol. 4

by The Alan Cohen Big Band

supported by

John Fenton This is a rare treat. The London Jazz Scene of the 60s, 70s was extraordinary. An era of great charts, superb players and increasing innovation. This exudes a confidence and a scene reaching for its own unique voice. Favorite track: The Oracle.

Тадей Simply amazing music.
