NEIL ARDLEY/New Jazz Orchestra
Western Reunion London 1965
LP
Selling some of my jazz LP collection! The record is in near excellent condition with no bad marks. The sleeve is very good – just creases and a bit of laminate lift. No rips or damage.
This one is a 46 year old LP by a biggish band led by Neil Ardley. Recorded ‘live’ at Decca Studios before an audience. It’s a rare example of recorded jazz by the late composer.
The New Jazz Orchestra - formed in December 1963, its name reflecting both the youth of its members - their average age was only 23 - and their mission to perform the new kind of orchestral jazz that was then developing in America but still to be heard in Britain. The personnel included such (then) non-jazz instruments as flute, horn and tuba in addition to the standard brass, saxes and rhythm line-up of the big band. This is the NJO's first album, recorded March 14th 1965 before an invited audience to make the young band feel at ease.
With Jon Hiseman at the helm, the NJO was remarkable at the time for its rhythm section - no other British large ensemble could swing like this. And every section contained great jazz soloists in the making already playing imaginative and well-constructed improvisations with tremendous drive and verve.
