SPRING GREENS

"When you hear music, after it's over, it's gone in the air" (Eric Dolphy)

Please be aware that this website is largely a fan and information site and way of contacting these musicians (to offer gigs ideally!). We do not manage any musicians and we do not put on concerts so please do not send us CVs, tour dates for other bands, etc., as we can not help. But if it's free improv date gig promotion and within Bristol/ Cheltenham/ Oxford/ Birmingham range we might list dates if we like it!

PAUL DUNMALL - HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY STILL JUST ABOUT:
I hope some of you heard Paul make it into the big-time when a track from one of the two Coltrane tribute CDs with Tony Bianco got an airing on Jazz Record Requests just before Christmas! A third CD is due out later this year on SLAM. All are essential (as indeed are the Coltrane versions of course!).

PAUL DUNMALL FMR BOXED SET: There are three or four remaining media sets (exactly the same and signed to boot) at a bargain bargain price of £80 plus post. Be quick because that's it!
FMR BOX 1 : Massive 49 CDs & 1 DVD box set of UK saxophone legend Paul Dunmall's FMR releases with a 274 page book of interviews, essays, photos, and Dunmall's artwork, strictly limited to 100 numbered copies.

Each box is signed and numbered from an edition of 100 boxes. 23 cm wide x 29 cm height x 12 cm deep. Includes a 274-page colour book with information and photos for each release, plus interviews, essays, Dunmall's artwork, photos, etc.
