A Jazz Suite Inspired by Dylan Thomas's "Under Milk Wood" is an album by the English pianist Stan Tracey and his quartet, that was released by the Columbia subsidiary of EMI in 1965. The music was written in response to the 1953 BBC radio play Under Milk Wood, by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. It has often been cited as one of the best jazz recordings made in the United Kingdom.

In a series of articles for The Guardian newspaper titled "50 great moments in jazz", John Fordham wrote of the album: "Under Milk Wood was an evocative collection of sparky themes inspired by the Dylan Thomas radio play (it's sometimes performed with a narrator reading the parts). And thanks to Tracey's sparing piano and Wellins's softly hooting sax, the rippling tone-poem 'Starless and Bible Black' is widely acclaimed as one of the great jazz performances". - Wikipedia

At long last, I finally saw #MichaelSheen in #UnderMilkwood (on https://www.ntathome.com/).

Sheen speaks #DylanThomas’ words as though they are all coming to him fresh, rather than being nearly 70 years old now.

It’s more poetry than play, but is still very dramatic, with a new frame by Siân Owen. The youngest(?) #KezrinaJames more than holds her own in an ageless cast that moves through dream and memory.

It is brilliant.
Listen to it tonight if you can.
