Admirable wishful thinking on the sleeve notes on the surprisingly affordable 1969 British jazz compilation Jazz Explosion...
"...The Jazz Explosion of '69 is going to boom, and its reverberations will echo well into the seventies!"

A cheering find for my first post on BlueSky. Spotted on Discogs. "A Case Of Jazz" by Shake Keane And The Michael Garrick Quartette. Anyone got a spare £250?
It has a breakdown of the band members by height.
Shake Keane: 6ft. 3ins. in socks
