The father and son combination of saxophone playing Sulzmanns Stan and Matthew in a quintet setting are among the highlights this autumn at the Hampstead Jazz Club - the subject of today's podcast. Tenor titan Stan, 73, a UK jazz icon, is a huge influence on such next generation pianists as the Methenyian Gwilym Simcock who early in his own career played with Stan in Neon.

Hear Stan in the saxophone section combining with Kenny Wheeler on the sublime 'See Horse' led off by pianist John Horler on Wheeler 1992 Ah Um classic, Kayak.

We loved Stan's work too more recently last year surfacing along with Swiss grands fromages Vein and the Mon Ami Ensemble whose members included Matthew.

Matthew plays soprano and alto sax and studied at the Royal Academy of Music.

There's wonderful life and vitality here and the recording quality is clean and immediate. Drawn from the upcoming October release of a newly remastered new reissue of The Joe Harriott Quintet Swings High (1970 Melodisc release, recorded three years earlier), with alto influencer Harriott it's Phil Seamen on drums, Stu Hamer on trumpet, Pat Smythe on piano and Coleridge Goode on double bass.

The Harriott composition also appears zestily much earlier on 1960 Jazzland LP Southern Horizons which Coleridge Goode also appeared on as did Shake Keane.
