Live At The Peanuts Club
by Mike Osborne & Friends

Mike Osborne was a very special musician...I remember him as quietly intense and thoughtful and not a seeker of the limelight...I must have seen him play dozens of times in many small venues from ‘68 to ‘75 or so...I loved his playing...a high end technician but full of heart as well as head...I still listen to his music a lot on the original vinyl and i’m so pleased this gig has surfaced. Hugh respect to Jazz In Britain for their whole initiative...you have made an old man very happy... John Cratchley
