Wow,  what a treat!  Many thanks for posting this,  Royal.  Clearly,  Les 
should have been given more solo space on record.

What name was this one issued under?

Listening to this track,  with drummer Jackie Mills,  reminded me of Johnny 
Bothwell,  another very distinctive and melodic alto player who does nice 
solo work on a number of Boyd Raeburn sides around this time.

Thanks again from

Taylor
