Affinity – Origins (1965-67) (@256)
04 Jul 2010
(Review from allmusic)
After Baskervilles, drummer Mo Foster joins future Affinity pianist Lynton Naiff. Alongside double-bassist Nick Nicholas, the pair formed the succinctly and so accurately named Jazz Trio.
This trio’s recordings make up this set, a clutch of songs recorded in sundry locations around their university base: a rudimentary studio, the debating chamber, and various noisy bars; spanning over three years.
It’s fairly straightforward stuff; the repertoire is locked into light jazz arrangements of sundry pop and torch classics.
However, one definite treat on board, as the final track, a reprise of “My Funny Valentine,” reunites Nicholas and Foster at a 1980 party, then adds Linda Hoyle’s so distinctive vocals to the brew. It isn’t brilliant, it isn’t especially well-recorded. But it does lend a neat circularity to the collection.

- Mo Foster / Drums
- Lynton Naiff / Piano
- Nick Nichols / Double bass
