The Brass Connection - Standards (1983) [Complete CD]
One Of Our Deleted Albums Series
The Brass Connection was a Canadian band comprised of some of Toronto's leading jazzmen and session players of the period.
This album was recorded at McClear Place Studios in Toronto in 1983 and subsequently released on the California based Jazz Alliance label, catalogue number TJA-10014.
This album has been deleted for many years and is currently only available as second hand copies. I found this one recently in a "Free CDs" bin at a local second hand record store. A previous owner was apparently a fan of Don Thompson, who plays piano and vibes on this album, and made the handwritten notation "Don Thompson - Vibes" on the front cover and highlighted Don Thompson's name in the credits.
Track List:
1. All The Things You Are 0:00
2. Someday My Prince Will Come 4:24
3. My Funny Valentine 9:32
4. I Love You 17:39
5. Mood Indigo 22:23
6. My Shining Hour 28:01
7. My Foolish Heart 34:20
8. Night And Day 39:12
