Sax Appeal's first album, released in 1991, showcases Derek Nash's writing and arranging.
Having just won the Music for Youth, Small Band of the Year Award, he lined up the best young saxophone players in the country and, with a fantastic rhythm section, recorded this album, assisted by Jon Hiesman, legendary jazz-fusion drummer.
Many of the players have gone on to award-winning, established jazz careers in their own right.
Nigel Hitchcock (alto sax), Dave O'Higgins (tenor sax), Gary Plumley (tenor sax), Mornington Lockett (tenor sax), Bob McKay (baritone sax and flute), Mike Bradley (drums), Simon Hale (keyboards) and Phil Mulford (bass).
