--------------------------------
Second record is a trio by John Butcher, Phil Durrant and John Russell. Their first actually, on Butchers Acta label. A good bit of British improv.
This really ought to be re-released on Emanem, kinda weird it hasn't been.

I looked for Conceits when it was first released. I should have tried harder, I didn't realise how good it is.
ReplyDeleteLike a set of pen drawings - deceptively simple with lots of detail (but no clutter) and lots of 'space'. Quite refreshing.
'A good bit of British Improv?' - I would say 'A very good bit . . .'
Thanks very much.
Thanks, I've got the record, but no means to play it anymore
