RANDB 103CD

The previous two sets in this series of live broadcast CDs from Georgie Fame covered the years 1964 up to 1967 and this one picks up the story from the start of '68. So, what changes did that year bring in Georgie's music? Impossible to ignore is the release of "The Ballad Of Bonnie And Clyde" in December '67. Was Georgie ignoring his roots? Not so if you examine this album. It starts off with Georgie's BBC TV show accompanied by the Count Basie Band and continues with Swedish and British radio recordings of Georgie with his Band, a tight eight-piece unit featuring jazz and Blue Flames luminaries such as Eddie Thornton, Johnny Marshall, John McLaughlin and Jon Hiseman.
