about

The band of Alex. The music of Alex. But unfortunately without Alex.

Alex Welsh is a true jazz giant. He has already become a legend and he is on the best way to get the status of a cult figure. The music on this CD has the special Welsh touch: The sound of the band is brilliant, the rhythm section has that typical Welsh power, the solos are outstanding, the boys have a lot of fun together on stage (you can really hear it in the music) and the band swings like hell.

"A number of musicians have filled the Alex role in he various reunion bands, but for this session the organizers hit on the super idea of inviting Tom Saunders at the concert."
- Norman Simpson
