I have completed the restoration of this album, the quality is not up to that of the direct cut LP's from Chris Barber but considering it's age it is pretty fair, there is a little roughness in places, but still warrants the 320k 24 bit digitisation.I cannot find any reference to this LP having ever been issued on CD, so it is presented here as an interesting
example of Bud's work with a small group, in what seems to be his first visit to England. The record has it that later in the 70's he appeared here frequently, in fact he lived in England for some years before returning to the USA.
On this Album Bud plays alongside British musicians recording in London's Marble Arch Fontana Studio.

Very nice - just the thing to listen to on a snowy afternoon...
As a big Bud Freeman fan this is a real discovery. I thought I had everything he made in the UK but not this. So the pw would be greatly appreciated.

Amazing material. Bud Freeman, Dicky Katz...what a day!
This was unknown to me and a pleasant surprise. Lovely sounding rip.
As a way of saying thanks I wonder if you've seen this. (From 1966 Jazz Journal)

Thanks for the password! Bud Freeman early on had a unique style that wasn't based on Coleman Hawkins or Lester Young, as used to be the case with pre-bop tenorists. He was a giant and this rare quartet album was very nice, so many thanks for making it available!
@grumpy Thanks for that link, only just got around to finding your comment,some great info there about a unique player with a unique style
I hope others have enjoyed it as much as I did:

@ chu,
Yes totally different, easily recognisable, even in his formative years in the more "trad" stylings, "THE EEL" says it all though..

Thank you VERY much Gonzo (the great!) for the rip, the up and download and the pw.
Fine music from one of my favorite tenor men
Hi Gonzo. I've had a second-hand copy of this for many years and look forward to hearing it in better quality - one of my favourite Bud Freeman LPs. PW would be appreciated. Cheers.

@Eddie,
I'm afraid your obfuscation was too good, tried combinations of your suggested address, all came back unknown?
(I am Brazilian-do not speak English)
Amo Bud Freeman, ele tem a capacidade
sobrenatural de soar genial com apenas "meia dúzia de notas". Isto é surreal e muito, muito raro!
(the ability to make great music with a few notes. This is rare!
The other musicians looking to make lots of notes and can not make great music)
Please, Password!

Indeed he did in reply to your comment
"I love Bud Freeman, he has the supernatural capacity of sound genial with barely "half dozen of notes". This is surreal and very, a lot rare! "
