A wonderful recent release of an exhilarating concert that Buddy Tate and his band performed in Dublin in 1967. A big thanks to Nagel Heyer Records for publishing this lost gem. For the date Buddy is joined by pianist Tony Drennan, bassist Jimmy McKay and drummer Jack Daly. Together they explore and interpret a broad range of classic jazz standards and a couple of his own theme songs. He is equally proficient on clarinet and his main instrument of choice the tenor saxophone. Essentially, the program is a listener’s delight, whereby Buddy switches from haunting ballads to exciting jazz anthems, accompanied by some unique vocal discourses. A must have for any of his longtime fans.
