Thanks. Haven't heard this version for decades.

"In 1957, Ginger [Baker] bluffed his way into a trad band, Bob Wallis' Storeyville Jazzmen. Acker Bilk and Dick Heckstall-Smith [later member of the Graham Bond Organisation] were both in the band and all three appeared on an album entitled Acker's Early Days recorded at Ken Colyer's club." --Harry Shapiro, Graham Bond: The Mighty Shadow. This track was on Acker's Early Days. So this may be one of the earliest recordings of Ginger Baker and Dick Heckstall-Smith.

Bob Wallis: a greatly underrated guy in British NO jazz.
