ALBUMS OF THE WEEK

UNITY SEXTET - UNITY SEXTET - CD - LEGERE - NEW - £12.99 Superb Jazz set from six top notch UK based session musicians.  Sax man Buddy Franco provides the material.   The percussive ‘Ten Days’, the Horace Silver tinged ‘Us Six’,  and the spiritually inspired ‘Dance Of The Pharoahs’ and the simmering ‘De Me A Fredo’ are excellent tracks in a set that excels from start to finish.
