MASSIVE ABSTRACT UK JAZZ RARITY ON ARGO
NORMA WINSTONE - EDGE OF TIME
ARGO ZDA 148
1971
UNDENIABLY, ONE OF THE FINEST AND MOST SOUGHT AFTER UK JAZZ LP'S MUCH CELEBRATED BY MANY JAZZ, ROCK AND EXPERIMENTAL COLLECTORS FOR THE SHEER MAGNIFICENCE OF THIS SESSION, AN EXCEPTIONAL AND HIGH QUALITY DOCUMENT OF BRITISH JAZZ, FEATURING A COLLECTION OF THE UK'S MOST APPRAISED PLAYERS INCLUDING JOHN TAYLOR, JOHN SURMAN, NEIL ARDLEY, ALAN SKIDMORE, MIKE OSBORNE, TONY LEVIN, ART THEMEN & FRANK RICOTTI, NOT FORGETTING THE LADY HERSELF!
IT'S EXTRAORDINARY TODAY TO CONSIDER THE MEANING OF SUCH A COLLECTIVE ON ONE RECORDING, COMPRISING OF SUCH DISPARATE PERSONALITIES AND INCREDIBLE TALENT, THE SCALE OF WHICH DEFIES COMPREHENSION WITH OUR CONTEMPORARY APPRECIATION OF THESE MUSICIANS AND THEIR IMPACT ON JAZZ MUSIC.
THE ALBUM OF COURSE IS A COMPOSITE OF BEAUTIFUL ARRANGEMENTS WITH A DEEPLY PHILOSOPHICAL STANDPOINT THROUGHOUT. WINSTONE CREATES FINE SOUNDSCAPES IN WHICH THE PLAYERS ARE AFFORDED COMPLETE EXPRESSION: THIS IS SUPERB AND OFTEN SUBLIME JAZZ, THE PLAYING BOTH AGGRESSIVE AND RESTRAINED BUT THIS OPENLY ODD AND VERY ABSTRACT MUSIC REMAINS ULTIMATELY, A VERY BRITISH AFFAIR, IT'S SIGNIFICANTLY PROGRESSIVE EDGE MAKING FOR AN UNUSUAL BUT DEEPLY RHYTHMIC EXPERIENCE.
