The record
Scottish trumpeter Deuchar leads a tight cross-section of London's late-'50s modern jazz scene, with Hayes switching to baritone and Seamen driving things from the kit. A snapshot of the UK hard bop circuit at its sharpest, cut for Tempo in the same era that label was documenting home-grown talent alongside its American imports.
