Not heard of "Nick Garrie" at all...I believe that this supposed to be a "Lost" L/P...will have to listen to it a little more before I can make a comment on it..so this is one that you folks out there can go to town on the comments !!!
Nick Garrie-Hamilton (born 22 June 1949, Ripon, North Yorkshire, England) better known as Nick Garrie, is a British singer-songwriter best known for his rare 1969 debut album, The Nightmare of JB Stanislas. Original copies of the album, which was reportedly only available in France, are known to be expensive, and it was not until 2005, when Rev-ola Records issued it, that it was available on compact disc.

The record company's are at it again !!!..Woha I stand corrected !!...I've just read the back cover and David McCallum's comments !!...Good luck to him if it's all true...Its a pity that he did not have a go at the "Oboe" or the "English Horn" and was a part of the orchestra...instead of being the conductor..But I wonder which of the four tunes was his....Or maybe it was the Record company's idea....But I guess all that is now water under the bridge as the year was 1966....Anyway back to the music...a pleasant set of tracks with nothing really outstanding !!.It could be any orchestra.....Sooooo"Take it Away" Illya Kuryaki !!
And it is True !!!!

n the 1960s, McCallum recorded four albums for Capitol Records with music producer David Axelrod: Music...A Part of Me (Capitol ST 2432, 1966), Music...A Bit More of Me (Capitol ST 2498, 1966), Music...It's Happening Now! (Capitol ST 2651, 1967), and McCallum (Capitol ST 2748, 1968).
McCallum did not sing on these records, as many television stars of the 1960s did when offered recording contracts. As a classically trained musician, he conceived a blend of oboe, English horn and strings with guitar and drums, and presented instrumental interpretations of hits of the day. The official arranger on the albums was H. B. Barnum. However, McCallum conducted, and contributed several original compositions of his own, over the course of four LPs.

The history of jazz is full of talented singers who, for whatever reason, never became as well-known as they should have been. That is certainly true of Bev Kelly, an obscure Bay Area-based vocalist whose influences ranged from Anita O'Day to Billie Holiday and Dinah Washington. It's safe to say that the vast majority of jazz lovers have never even heard of Kelly, but the singer did have an enthusiastic supporter in Orrin Keepnews, who produced this live date for Riverside. Recorded at the Coffee Gallery in San Francisco in 1960, In Person was out of print for a long time but finally became available on CD when Fantasy reissued it for Original Jazz Classics in 1999. Kelly had a raspy yet sweetly vulnerable delivery, and that approach serves her well on tasteful, introspective performances of well-known standards like "My Funny Valentine," "Long Ago and Far Away," and "Body and Soul." Kelly swings, but she does so in a subtle fashion. Thankfully, the singer has sympathetic accompaniment in alto saxman Pony Poindexter, pianist Flip Nunez, bassist Johnny Allen, and drummer Tony Johnson. Some bop-oriented instrumentalists have a hard time backing singers, but these Bay Area jazzmen enjoy a strong rapport with Kelly. So why was a singer as expressive as Kelly so obscure? One can only speculate. The music business is incredibly competitive as well as extremely political, and a lot of talented, deserving people inevitably fall through the cracks. In Person makes one wish that Kelly wasn't one of them.
