(1/1)

RAM:
Danny Thompson was a giant of the English folk scene as a member of Pentangle and playing on countless albums by artists who formed the basis of much of my musical journey including Richard Thompson, Nick Drake, John Martyn, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch... to name but a few.

That he was, both in the fields folk and jazz, but he played with an incredibly diverse group of artists. Without knowing it, you will probably find that you have quite a few of the albums he played on.
