CRIME JAZZ : VOLUME 14 : REG TILSLEY IN ACTION!Here we have the latest in our "In Action!" series which features the legends of Library and Easy composers. Reg Tilsley was a regular at the DeWolfe music library and composed a large number of great tunes many of which have never really been represented outside the world of library albums.
You will no doubt have heard a few of his compositions as they have been featured on various cult compilations here and there. Virtually nothing can be found about Reg online hence the missing "silhouette" from the cover.
I hope this compilation goes some way to bringing the genius of Mr. Tilsley to a wider audience. From smoky crime jazz to bright and easy listening Reg is a master of all genre's.

BOTH parts are needed to unpack the album.
Enjoy!
Great collection, thanks!
I'm just getting to know Reg Tilsley's stuff, and I'd like to find more. The song "Strike Rich" is, as far as I can tell, quite clearly lifted from a Les Baxter tune (can't remember which, I think it might be from African Jazz). Just curious if anybody else picked up on that.
Many thanks again.
Found it--the Les Baxter tune is "Bangkok Cockfight" from Ports of Pleasure.
Good work CBlack!
Les Baxter wrote some great tunes. I bet it's been driving you mad trying to figure out what it was :)
I'll have to find them out and compare them. Wonder which one was written/recorded first!
Sadly the link is dead. Any chance for a re-up?
