Award-winning sax star Derek Nash in acoustic setting with the Rolls Royce of British rhythm sections.
In Setting New Standards Derek hasn't recorded standards - instead the compositions, in the style of classic songwriters (Jobim, Mancini, Basie, etc), were written by Derek and his father, Pat Nash, who arranged for the BBC Northern Dance Orchestra for over 30 years.
With Alec Dankworth (bass), Graham Harvey (piano) and Clark Tracey/Ian Thomas (drums).
"A glossy but authentically enjoyable jazz cd powered by a capable reedman and ten strong tunes" Cadence/USA
