RIP John.

Ray Martin and His Orchestra - Dynamica (1962)





















These Stereo Action albums are great, this is an early 70s re-release of Ray Martin's classic early 60s album.

Nelson Riddle - Nat (1965)




















Lovely album this.  Just right for a Friday afternoon while you're winding down the working week and waiting for the weekend to start.

Pete Winslow and The King Size Brass - Up, Up and Away (1972)




















Some nice versions of popular standards on here.  Title track is very good.

The Border Brass - The Sweet Sounds Of Tijuana (1970)




















OK, so there's the standard fare of Guantanamera and Love Is Blue on here, but the Border Brass also chuck in a few surprises with a cracking version of Galveston being the highlight for me.

You can't go wrong with that funky trumpet, can you?
