STAN TRACEY/
BOBBY WELLlNS
Pianist Stan Tracey and saxophonist Bobby Wellins are reunited in Bobby's hometown in a quartet with two of the leading lights of a subsequent generation of British jazz musicians, bassist Arnie Somogyi and drummer Clark Tracey. All four are acclaimed leaders in their own right, and this should be a fascinating occasion that will look back to the great heyday of the Tracey- Wellins connection in the 603. It will also reflect how far they have come since their music — and Under Milk Wood in particular - made its first profound mark on jazz history. (Kenny Mathieson) I . p . .
