Warm Glow

• Track Listing

One of a pair of re-issues this month from one of the key figures in post-war British modern and mainstream jazz. Although perhaps less well-known than high profile contemporaries like Dankworth, Scott and Hayes, Tommy Whittle had a central role in London's emerging modern jazz scene of the '50s, performing with a string of his own line-ups and recording with all the top names, having paid his dues with the Ted Heath Band in the post-war years.
