To Be Collected is in part a reissue and in part a new recording. Tracks marked (a) (c) & (d) comprise an LP (Flyright 206) of the New City Jazzmen which came out in 1978. Because of continuing interest in that recording it has been decided to reissue it on CD. This follows the reissue in 2002 of another New City LP (Flyright 203) on compact disc CBCD 201 and as with that one additional tracks have been incorporated.

The six extra tracks are marked (b) and feature the vocal talents of Penny Payne. Penny has a fine understanding of the traditional jazz genre and demonstrates this clearly on this recording. Once again she sings a wide range of numbers, a hymn, a rolling blues, two love songs and two burlesque numbers with swing, intense feeling and, where necessary, the right amount of exuberance.

Personnel

(a): Bernard Hodgson trumpet/vocal on 5 & 14, Chris Jaques (clarinet),
Ron Westcott (trombone), Mike Godfrey (piano), Brian Nicholls (banjo)
Alan Kennington (bass), Barry Lewis (drums)

(b): as (a) but Sluff Hazell (banjo) replaces Brian Nicholls. Penny Payne (vocal)
