“… bassist Percy Pursglove suggested he might have come pretty close to Forbes at the winning-post. Pursglove’s surging rhythm and pin-sharp intonation – even when flying from the basement register to the treble – flagged up a budding bass sensation.”

Also kindly mentioned by Tony Dudley-Evans on the Birmingham Jazz website.

“… And that edge was maintained through the next number, the first half closer. Someone – probably bassist Percy Pursglove – had called All the Things You Are. But with a mischievous time signature:  7/4. Appearances can be deceptive, but it was Pursglove and Forbes who looked most settled riding that groove.

Bassist Percy Pursglove, also no mean trumpeter, is the complete musician, with superb agility around the bass, but also exemplary time and a great sound.”
