A chance meeting of two British jazz and boogie-woogie enthusiasts, Ray Bush and Carl Sonny Leyland in California, led to this collaboration featuring vocals, clarinet, piano and harmonica.
Ray Bush is a performer with over 65 years experience beginning with the Avon Cities Jazz Band in 1949 …. Carl Sonny Leyland is a relative newcomer, having discovered the Avon Cities recordings at age 15 in 1965. Together they have made, very simply, a fine album.
