Non si può farsene sfuggire una copia, e con incluso il doppio cd di inediti e rarità ne sono previste soltanto cinquecento: And Did Those Feet - Six British Jazz Composers, di Duncan Heining per Jazz in Britain.

And Did Those Feet… examines in depth the lives and work of six British jazz composers – Michael Garrick, Mike Gibbs, Barry Guy, John Mayer, Keith Tippett and Mike Westbrook. Each of these musicians began their careers in jazz in the 1960s, years of artistic and political ferment and upheaval. Music historian Duncan Heining locates those beginnings in the context of changing times and shows how these composers’ work continued to develop whilst remaining influenced by values that continued to be informed by social and cultural concerns.
