Rhythm and Blues

<p>Formidable Rhythm and Blues (also known as Rhythm And Blues Formidable) was a French series launched by Barclay in 1966. As a distributor for different labels such as Atlantic, Atco, Stax, and others, this label played a significant role in promoting the vibrant genre of rhythm and blues. Over the years, some of these remarkable compilations were reissued through WEA Filipacchi Music in their renowned series.</p>

These thirty tracks from Bill Le Sage’s Directions in Jazz Unit from 1963-1964 reveal that British jazz had long been developing its own authentic voices, even if many of those voices have been hidden from history until recently. As well as the woodwinds of Ronnie Ross, Bob Burns and Johnny Scott, Le Sage himself on piano and vibes, Spike Heatley on bass and Tony Carr on drums, the group included the novel addition of a cello quartet, led by Freddie Alexander.
