Fred Hunt Duo - Blues 'N' Boogie

Pianist Fred Hunt quietly became a cult figure on the British jazz scene. In the early 1950's he played semi-professionally before turning professional with Alex Welsh in 1954. He did two stints with the Welsh band (1954 1962 and 1964 -1974). During this time he carved out an enviable reputation. He only made two now rare, highly collectable albums under his own name before his death in 1986. This 'live' set shows him away from the constraints of a band and a recording studio enjoying and indulging himself often playing medleys where he alights on a standard, gains inspiration before segueing into another theme often in a variety of tempos.
