Reviews |
01/02/1999 John Lewis - TIME OUT |
"Passion, groove and grit."
|
01/01/1999 Phil Johnson - THE INDEPENDENT |
"Summons up the bluesy flavour of mid-period Charles Mingus." |
01/01/1999 Mark Gilbert - JAZZ REVIEW |
"A very fine example of British writing by a veteran of the modern UK scene." |
01/01/1999 Stuart Nicholson - JAZZWISE |
4 stars - an outstanding release
"Everyone who reads this magazine should buy a copy of this album - it's British jazz at its best... evidence Richards is a far more important force in British jazz than he has been given credit for. The tracks with American trumpeter Jack Walrath are barely short of sensational..." |
01/01/1999 Chris Yates - THE JAZZ RAG |
"An important piece of British jazz history is combined with stimulating new music to make up an excellent two CD set." |
