GA Russell Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 CDSML8418 John Surman/Alan Skidmore/Tony Oxley - Jazz In Britain '68-'69 This interests me. I met Dave Holland in February of 1970, and I asked him who in Europe was good, and he said John Surman. So the recording you mention was I suppose the sort of thing Holland had in mind.

sidewinder Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 (edited) Presumably also Amancio D'Silva's 'Konkan Dance' will be issued as well (per Steph's email)? (update - ah, just seen it on Roger's list). Good to see the Garrick 'Cold Mountain' out at last. That one has eluded me. I have the 'Poetry and Jazz In Concert' 2LP box set. If it's this one, it has Laurie Lee and several other notable poets reciting their stuff with backing from Rendell, Carr, Garrick & co. I quite like this one, although admit that it may not be to everyone's taste. The 'Jazz In Britain 68-69' looks like an absolute ringer. Wonder what the 'Terry Cavendish' is like?

sidewinder Posted January 20, 2006 Report Share Posted January 20, 2006 Answering my own question, here's some info on the Cavendish: Terry Cavendish Orchestra Looks like it might be aimed at the Jason King wanabee fraternity.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 (edited) The 'Jazz in Britain 1968-9' is an absolute classic which I have been hoping would be reissued for years. Won't say more than this in case my unbridled hyperbole starts to put people off it. But it is brilliant and perhaps in its modest way a perfect example of the 'golden era' of modern British jazz at its very best.

sidewinder Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Is it true that the 'Jazz In Britain' is from the same sessions that also resulted in Alan Skidmore's 'Once Upon A Time'? Looking forward to this batch of Vocalions.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I've never heard that claim, but it's possible. From what I remember of the record, it's got a strong "calypso" vibe to at least a few tracks, and I've passed on it for as little bread as $40. But... there are some interesting characters on it, at least, wherever it is on the Britjazz continuum. Now, the Garrick reish and the upcoming Japanese MPS CD of Decipher (Taylor/Laurence/Levin) get my undies in a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Is it true that the 'Jazz In Britain' is from the same sessions that also resulted in Alan Skidmore's 'Once Upon A Time'? Looking forward to this batch of Vocalions.. Yes according to Simon Spillett who knows Alan Skidmore it is from the same session - certainly sounds the same. The tracks on Jazz in Britain sound strangely more cohesive than 'Once Upon a Time' though. Clifford: no 'calypso' feel as I recall. You may be confusing that with Surman's eponymously titled first album. The opening track has an SOS feel as it as it features Surman Osborne and Skidmore on unaccompanied saxes. The rest is great too - tracks are penned by the likes of John Warren and John Surman so you can already tell how good it is - everyone is playing on top form John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, Harry Miller, Tony Oxley (proving just what a brilliant 'straight' drummer he is/was), Skid, Ozzy, Surman. This is a lost classic and hopefully we'll see it again soon! Edited January 24, 2006 by RogerFarbey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
