2008 compilation from the British Jazz great that spans the years 1953-60 and features two of his biggest hits: 'African Waltz' and 'Experiments with Mice'..Back in the late '40s, Johnny Dankworth joined Geraldo's Navy, working as an alto saxophone player with dance bands aboard transatlantic liners. A colleague from those days was Ronnie Scott and they both haunted Jazz clubs in New York on their frequent visits there. Bop innovators such as Charlie Parker, Bud Powell and Dizzy Gillespie left a strong impression on the young men, then barely out of their teens. They brought the message back to Britain and spearheaded the Bop movement in the UK. EMI.
