Russell Ray - Table Near The Band

Facts 2008 reissue of this album from the composer better known to the millions of viewers of TV and films (Touch of Frost, Bit of a Do and Diamond Geezer) as the composer of those shows' soundtracks. Back in 1988 Ray Russell had assembled one of the bands composer/musicians usually only dream about and over two nights they performed at the Montreux Jazz Festival and became a highlight of that year's festival. On returning to the UK the '88' band was enhanced with the addition of saxophones and in 1989 they recorded a Table Near the Band which includes a gem written by Russell for the soundtrack of the film Colorado. Seven tracks. Angel Air.
