This was Matt’s first LP and what a classy set it was. Over 50 years later the recordings and arrangements have stood the test of time and are evidence of the early promise that was to blossom into international appeal only a few years later. This is a most welcome addition to CD and one that collectors will not want to miss. Musical director, Malcolm Lockyer. Running time approx 31 minutes.
