Quincicasm for Saydisc UK from 1973. Bass, Flute – Malcolm Bennett ; Drums, Percussion – Michael Ormerod, Nigel Smith ; Flugelhorn – Dick Pearce ; Saxophone – Ken Eley ; Vibraphone, Keyboards – Julian Marshall ; Vocals – Katy Zeserson (Trent Park Song) First time out in blogland for this British jazz rarity from 1973.Apparently only 200 copies were ever pressed however anyone who downloaded Tony Higgins' Impressed 3 compilation will have had an introduction to in the shape of "Trent Park Song".
