Bill Sage - New Directions In Jazz 1963-1964

These thirty tracks from Bill Le Sage's Directions in Jazz Unit from 1963-1964 reveal that British jazz had long been developing it's own authentic voices, even if many of those voices have been hidden from history until recently. As well as the woodwinds of Ronnie Ross, Bob Burns and Johnny Scott, Le Sage himself on piano and vibes, Spike Heatley on bass and Tony Carr on drums, the group included the novel addition of a cello quartet, led by Freddie Alexander.
