Description
Ultra rare British Blues roots revealed, “Like Soho trumpeter Ken Colyer—and perhaps at his suggestion—Davies had become a serious student of the music he loved, with a broad interest in all of the cornerstones of jazz. His passion, and the influence of the jug band style and sound, grew stronger alongside a new obsession with the life and music of Lead Belly.
