Cadillac Records

<p>Cadillac Records is a British jazz label founded by John Jack and Mike Westbrook in 1973. Initially created to release Westbrook's live album, which was rejected by RCA due to its recording quality, the label took its name from Westbrook's new band, Solid Gold Cadillac. Under John Jack's management and often in association with Ogun, Cadillac Records built a catalogue of some of the most significant contemporary Jazz produced in the UK. Following John Jack's passing in 2018, Mike Gavin took over as the label's owner. As a tribute to JJ, on his birthday and exactly 50 years after the original event, Cadillac released a recording of *Mike Westbrook - The Last Night at Ronnie Scott's Old Place* on May 25th, 2018.</p>

This is a reissue of an original album on Doug Dobell's legendary 77 label, based at the famous Charing Cross Road record shop. Albert Nicholas was a favourite of Doug and John Jack, Cadillac founder, and one of the great jazz originators - he played with Jelly Roll Morton and others before settling in Europe.

This release includes unissued material, and a complete live session, never before released, recorded on acetate by Doug, of Albert and the Humphrey Lyttelton Band playing at an all night dive in London's China Town in the 50s. Includes newly commissioned artwork and unseen photos. One for the collector and music lover!
