Buy the Dave Gold Big Band LP for only a fiver!
Our 2017 LP, and the second release on My Only Desire Records, Heaven on Their Minds by the Dave Gold Big Band is now available for just five pounds – an absolute bargain for 4 slices of superior 70s big band perfection.
Described by Record Collector as “Short’n’sweet, the pressing is punchier than an Inspector Jack Regan right hook”, on their 4 star review, composer/arranger Dave Gold, who recorded extensively for cult library labels KPM and Bruton Music, presents four previously unreleased tracks of funky big band jazz that “kick and groove with an innate sense of distinctly ’70s British jazz style”, Shindig! magazine.
Tip of the day: a great British jazz reissue, on vinyl, for £5. From the same people who did the recent Graham Collier LP. A short-ish album at 26 mins, but meant to sound really punchy for it. Did I say it was a fiver?https://t.co/IqghJj2XgI

The music includes the title track, a glorious arrangement of a song from Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Jesus Christ Superstar, which perfectly fuses jazz-rock with a sophisticated big band sound. Plus a cover of Jimmy Webb’s “Pocketful of Keys”, which strips back the US singer-songwriter’s original song revealing an infectious theme, complete with fantastic flute soloing. The two originals from Gold are “O’Connell Street”, a funky jaunt around mid-70s Dublin, whilst “Nostalgia (Ain’t What it Used to Be)” suddenly flips on its head, moving from schmaltzy late night jazz to jazz-funk courtesy of some killer drum breaks.
