It also showcased virtually all of Britain s own astonishingly talented modern jazz pioneers, and when Kruger (who received an MBE in 2001 for Services to Jazz ) founded the Ember label in 1960, many of the musicians who drew capacity crowds at the Flamingo went on to cut classic LPs for the Ember imprint. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ABOUT THE ARTIST \u003cbr\u003e The Flamingo Connection spotlights a generous selection of the finest tracks from those albums, several on CD for the first time. Wherever possible the recorded source is from the original master tape, and the collection includes comprehensive and authoritative sleevenotes. Artists include Tubby Hayes, Ronnie Scott, Annie Ross, Tony Kinsey, Bill LeSage, Carmen McRae, Don Rendell, Tony Crombie, and many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40526996275297,"sku":"5055311000251","price":4.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_760605_1392022_jpg.jpg?v=1712628820","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5055311000251-flamingo-connection","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
