'Playdreaming' by the Daryl Runswick Quartet was recorded at Wavendon in 1981. The release on ASC Records continues the label's promotion of Runswick, who is regarded as one of the finest Jazz musicians of the 70s and 80s both as a composer and player.

ASC Records released 'The Jazz Years' last year to celebrate Daryl's 70th birthday and filmed his One Man Show at Cadogan Hall.
