Stompin' With The Ronnie Ross Quintet

Digitally remastered edition of this album from the British Jazz great. Baritone saxophonist Ronnie Ross is well known to fans of pop and rock music for his session work with the likes of Donovan in the '60s, and for tutoring the young David Bowie, who subsequently invited him to solo on Lou Reed's 'Walk on the Wild Side'. in the '50s, Ross played in the bands of Tony Kinsey, Ted Heath and Don Rendell, before performing and recording in his own right, and in collaboration with drummer Allan Ganley as the Jazz Makers. The Ronnie Ross Quintet album was recorded in May 1958 and first released on Parlophone. In 1961 it was reissued on Ember. As well as Ross, the Quintet comprises Bert Courtley (trumpet), Eddie Harvey (piano), Peter Blannin (bass) and Andy White (drums). The ten tracks include band originals, the standard 'Smoke Gets in Your Eyes', and compositions by Tubby Hayes, Don Rendell and Harry South.
