A fantastic look at a really groundbreaking moment in British music – a time when modern jazz, progressive rock, and psychedelic music were all being jumbled up and shaken up – with results that were completely unique to the scene, and still really sound tremendous all these many years later! The music here is very different than sounds going on in the US at the time – some occasional avant touches, but more in a mode that reflects the cultural diversity of the UK scene – both in terms of the varied national backgrounds of some of the artists, and their differing roles in society – played out here in a rich array of musical settings, instrumental modes, and the occasional vocal tune too! There's definitely a few artists here that you might expect – like Nucleus, Michael Gibbs, Don Rendell/Ian Carr, Mike Westbrook, and Tubby Hayes – but they're set up here next to others who include Davy Graham, Pentangle, Harold McNair, Affinity, Keef Harley, Manfred Mann Chapter Three, Wynder K Frog, Spooky Tooth, and Mike Taylor – in a huge lineup that also features all sorts of unusual projects and collaborations. Other artists include Johnny Almond Music Machine, Satisfaction, Julie Driscoll, If, Chris Spedding, Mike Osborne, John McLaughlin, Joe Harriott, and New Jazz Orchestra – and the 48 track set comes in a box with a big set of notes on the genius within!
