Digital release: Joe Turner / Better Fly Away – Clarinet Summit
Two very different albums will be re-issued on September 8th: Smashing Thirds by Joe Turner is an album that harkens back to an era when feel-good entertainment was an art form. Turner was acclaimed as ‘the greatest living stride pianist’ at the time of this 1969 trio recording
The second album re-issue You Better Fly Away – Clarinet Summit Live gives the clarinet its due. As Perry Robinson exclaimed, “We never had it so good!”
