TEMPTED BY TONY
My initial interest in jazz happened on hearing a record on the radio by the Tony Kinsey trio. The tune was called Starboard Bow. The programme was on the BBC Light Programme and this was at lunchtime and in the mid 50s. To my knowledge I have never heard the record since and I am now wondering what it was about it that started me off as a jazz buff. Can anyone help?
