Prom No 3 Features 50 minutes of Stan Tracey playing Genesis.
If you’ve never heard Stan Tracey before this is worth a listen, big band jazz in an Ellington vein, with a touch of Bill Evans and Monk. It’s only up on the BBC website for 7 days so hurry over.
Further listening: Under Milk Wood and Alice in Jazzland are the two Tracey albums I’m familiar with. Under Milk Wood is a thing of beauty and definitely worth the price of admission. There’s a programme of reissuing his stuff underway I think, there’s been a bit of a mini-revival recently.
