Gerald “Jazzman” Short is a man of many talents. Record dealer, DJ, label manager and Middlesbrough football team fan, can’t ask for more! His top 5 focus on rare UK private jazz LPs and 7inches, killer stuff and pretty exclusive as some of those records are rarer than rare… Enjoy!

Michael Garrick
Man Have You Ever Heard

“With only 99 copies pressed, the 10″ “Moonscape” LP is one of the Holy Grails of UK jazz!”

 
 
Kenny Baker
Call Of The Flute

“An obscure 10″ LP from 1959, this track reminds me of the Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland big band. Flute is by Johnny Scott.”
