Exactly how and when I discovered the Peanuts Club and Ossie's Friday night sessions is now lost in the midst of time. But once discovered, the trip across London to Bishopsgate and to the upstairs room above the Kings Arms became a weekly ritual. Part of the excitement was the anticipation of not knowing who might turn up. On some nights it was just Ossie with Harry and Louis laying down what has been described as 'a roving springboard' for the Trio's exploration of new ideas; on others, as the evening wore on, the small playing space expanded to include at least half of the members of the Brotherhood of Breath.

Ken May who ran the club - and who has been immortalised in 'Ken's Tune' that features on the Trio's two great live recordings issued on Ogun records - 'Border Crossing.' and 'All Night Long' - used to hang a large sheet of paper at the entrance with the names of all the musicians who had played at Peanuts. On this session, recorded around 1975/76, Ossie is joined by some of his closest collaborators and friends. The four tracks here include 2 unidentified Ossie originals and a joyous 2nd set of standards by Monk and Parker, and a little of the wildly enthusiastic audience that made those Peanuts' nights so special. I wonder if we managed to get an encore that night?

The Jazz In Britain team have done a remarkable job in alchemising an old, dusty AGFA C 90 tape. Hopefully, you'll appreciate it not as a historical musical document from 45 years ago, but as music that sounds as fresh and exciting - and just as much fun - as it did back then. Welcome to a Friday night jam session of the avant garde!
