In tribute to the late Sir Richard Rodney Bennett, Sospiro Records has released an EP of Richard and John Harle with the strings of The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
Featuring Richard and Piano and John on saxophone, these luxuriant and swinging arrangements by Richard also feature the flugelhorn of Henry Lowther (Gil Evans, Charlie Watts Orchestras) and the harmonica of Paul Jones (Manfred Mann, The Blues Band), with Paul Morgan on bass and Paul Clarvis on drums.
