GRAHAM COLLIER レコード& CD

Review: Bassist and composer Graham Collier's Down Another Road is a real piece of British jazz history. It was recorded live in 1969 at Stockholm's Jazz Day festival with a superstar six-piece band featuring jazz heavyweights Harry Beckett, Stan Sulzmann, Karl Jenkins and John Marshall. This recording has never been released before while an OG will cost over 200 pounds, such is its cult status. It is said to be his best album by fans who know and it has lots of highly melodic tunes with pop themes, 60s groove and on-point drumming. On this version, the abstract 'Danish Blue' is replaced by the free jazz epic 'Burblings for Bob'.
