FIRST, FOR IT’S DARINGLY CONCEIVED AND BRILLIANTLY PERFORMED MUSIC, INSPIRED BY GREEK FOLK SONGS AND INSTRUMENTAL TEXTURES AND DEEP ENOUGH TO REVEAL ALL ITS TREASURES ONLY AFTER MANY REPEATED LISTENING. SECOND, FOR BEING RECORDED AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE DON RENDELL/IAN CARR QUINTET, A MAJOR FORCE IN BRITISH STRAIGHT-AHEAD JAZZ SINCE 1962 HAD BROKEN UP AND CARR’S EQUALLY INFLUENTIAL JAZZ-ROCK BAND NUCLEUS WAS RISING FROM THE ASHES.

VINYL: EXCELLENT (EX)
- HAS SOME VERY LIGHT SCUFFS FROM THE SLEEVE, BUT THEY APPEAR FAIRLY INSIGNIFICANT RELATIVELY TO THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THE VINYL.
