Round Midnight was recorded at a performance by a 9-piece at Aston University Centre for the Arts on 25 January 1980 and appeared on cassette NondoDPLP009. Barry McRae though it was given ‘an extraordinary ride by all concerned…[but]…got its chops together very well…’** and no mention of Monk-like workout, parody or fractured treatment. The solos are by Jan Steele, Terry Parkinson, Bob Jackson, John Adams and myself.
