| Description | 28 February 1965 - Hail The Top 'Four Sounds' - Cliffie, Basil, Billy and Aubrey are Cape's liveliest combo. They call themselves 'The Four Sounds, and swinging, lively jazz combo is aptly named. For four years,'The Four Sounds' quartet have been playing at a top Cape nightspot, proof enough that they are tops. By way of an introduction, there's the leader, Clifford Moses, who plays guitar. Cliff really is a wizard on six strings. Cliffie's brother, Basil still very young (and handsome) plays bass. And how. His nearest thing I've heard to Ray Brown in local jazz. It was a joy watching Basil plucking those strings. Basil is only an accompanist, but holds his own admirably as a soloist. Billy Dolley, the drummer, skins so lightly that it seems he is merely practicing. Billy Kinnes plays a dreamy piano. |
