BACKGROUND

15 years ago in the "West End", a now defunct jazz club in New York, we had a discussion about the possibility of releasing an LP-recording. Trumpeter Ed "Tiger" Lewis, tenor saxophonist Percy France, and our man Bross Townsend were present. It was to be a record featuring orchestrated, swinging "jump" music.

Sidemen such as trombonist Ted Kelly, baritone saxophonist Cecil Payne and bassist/arranger Georges Duvivier headed the list of musicians with whom we wanted to work. And we were also looking for a producer, one who would be willing to walk through tire for the project...

Since then the brilliant tones of Ed Lewis' trumpet and the mellow sounds of Percy France's sax have faded away; they are no longer with And Bross Townsend unexpectedly lost his sight three years ago. The prospects of realizing our project seemed more than dismal. Bross Townsend, however, did not lose any of his enthusiasm for the idea, and convinced Claves Jazz that this project could be realized under other conditions. [see more: http://www.claves.ch]
