PAUL DUNMALL / STEVE MELLING QUARTET Tribute to Coltrane. 1994
This would have been a gig by the Alan Skidmore Qt. but for some reason Skid couldn't make it and Paul Dunmall agreed to stand in for him. Although Paul is a massive Coltrane fan it is only recently in his duets with Tony Bianco that he has been concentrating on using his tunes. So at the time this was an unusual thing for him to be doing. I think he relished it as much as the audience and the rest of the band did. Steve Melling, Arnie Somogyi and Mark Taylor couldn't be bettered as a superb rhythm section. Enjoy!
Er...ok, there's the blurb. I messed up and had to reupload the files. I thought I might as well actually LISTEN to the music..... It's TOTALLY, UTTERLY, WONDERFULLY, WONDERFUL. The good old Andy cassette recording sounding GOOD. Turn it up and have a blast. STUPENDOUS JAZZY JAZZ!!!

Many thanks for this superb gig. Great rhythm section too.
Thank you very much for this.
Actually, my first jazz gig was a scorching Tony Levin and Chris Bolton club night (in the mid '80's?) starring Alan Skidmore AND Paul Dunmall. The pianist for the night later confessed to me that he spent the entire gig doing little more than trying to keep out of the crossfire.
I'll be checking this out looks interesting. Thanks.
Appreciated, thanks.
Hi Andy,
I was happily doing my accounts, and i played these two sets and wow! I'm back in my practice hut my accounts can wait.
Thanks for transforming my day.

@ martin. Barton's Arms? I first came across Paul Dunmall playing with Alan Skidmore, Paul Rogers and Tony Levin in Tenor Tonic.
@Andy. Yes the Bartons Arms in Newtown. Well well well well well well well well!
