Crime Jazz - Volume 13 - Alan Tew in Action!
This is what THXjay had to say about Alan Tew -
"Alan Tew is one of the great music library composers that until recently was virtually unknown, now thanks to the renewed interest in these funky grooves from the 70's he is finally being recognised as the genius that he is. Although he has recorded albums from many genres the tracks here are taken from his library albums (including the very rare Drama Suites) and The Hanged Man soundtrack."

And this is what 'wikipedia' had to say about Alan Tew -
"Alan Tew was a British composer and arranger. He got his start as the pianist/arranger for the Len Turner Band based in London, in the 1950s.
Tew is known as a composer of library music, including the theme tunes for British television programmes, Doctor in the House called "Bond Street Parade", and ...And Mother Makes Three. He also composed all the music for the 1975 series, The Hanged Man, some of which was used as incidental music for The Two Ronnies, The Sweeney, the 2009 Blaxploitation spoof Black Dynamite, and would eventually become the introductory music for the American television series, The People's Court. That same track, entitled "The Big One", was used in an episode of the British detective show Van der Valk.
Tew also led his own orchestra, The Alan Tew Orchestra, and collaborated with Cat Stevens. During his career, Tew made a number of orchestral albums with highly imaginative arrangements for the CBS label, though none of them has been reissued on CD. In particular, Tew's album The Magnificent Westerns (1969) is very highly regarded."
It is this other side of Alan Tew that I would like to present here, (mainly because this is the only Alan Tew stuff I have).
I cannot deny that these are 'not my rips' - as I, like many others, have taken in the past, from others, what has been made freely available from easy listening lounge web sites elsewhere. It's no excuse, I know, but in my book, it's the sharing and spreading of good music that really counts.
(As I get them into Mega) What I will post is the following:
1968 - Alan Tew Orchestra - Rosie
1969 - Alan Tew - Let's Fly
1969 - Alan Tew - Magnificent Westerns
1969 - Alan Tew Sound - Latin Style - The Music Of Tom Springfield
1970 - Alan Tew - The Magnificent Swingers
1971 - Alan Tew - These I Like
All MP3 320
Obviously anything 'Alan Tew' is welcome from others - please add if you like.
