Original, enchanting music from the "Matchless" storage with selfless courtesy of Eddie Prévost.

Recorded at the Bull & Gate in Kentish Town in 1985 and released the following year. 
Steve Miller Trio was Steve Miller on piano, Tony Moore on bass and Eddie Prévost on drums

– here joined by Lol Coxhill on soprano saxophone.

This concert was financially assisted by the Musicians' Union.

Beautiful set, free and slightly liberating, but then again there's that whole sequence of cultured proper behaviour that seems to permeate most aspects of British Isles jazz approach whether it be trad or avant.               E n j o y  ! ! !
