In the late 1970s, early 1980s, in Sydney, 2MBS-FM radio as it was known then, had a program every Saturday morning, 11 a.m., 'Bebop and Beyond' hosted by Art Raiche. I recorded a few of those programs, and one program featured a performance of this, I think recorded at The Basement in Sydney. I believe it must have been the Jazz Co/op performing. (The recording I have is on cassette tape, I will get around to uploading it to a PC and create an MP3.) Howie Smith actually set up the jazz school/courses at the Conservatorium of Music. This is a really hauntinly beautiful piece of music.

@@cosmicman621 After an unconscionable delay, I have managed to extract it from tape, an MP3 file 6.5Mb. It is not of the best quality, there is wow/flutter from the cheap and nasty device I used to convert the tape to MP3. I am using Audacity to edit the files but I am not sure how to remove the wow/flutter. If I can get my original Sony Walkman working again I should be able to record from that...I have to do a bit of surgery on the Walkman. But you are welcome to have the file. The recording was made in 1974 at The Basement in Sydney---Howie Smith, soprano; Roger Frampton, piano; Phil Treloar, drums; Jack Thorncroft, bass.

It seems I was rather remiss; I didn't actually listen to the track here on youtube until now, and it appears to be exactly what I recorded from the radio in perhaps 1979-80. The presenter Art Raiche was probably playing this very album.
