About
A landmark session from the British scene of the late 60s -- one of the few small group jazz recordings done by pianist/arranger John Cameron, and a cracker of a set from start to finish! The record's got a very angular, very rhythmic groove -- one that almost reminds us of the best 60s work of Roland Kirk at times -- which is no surprise, as the great Kirk-influenced Harold McNair performs on the session with some lovely work on flute and tenor! But there's also a deeper sense of color and tone here than most of Roland's work -- one that's informed by Cameron's rich array of work in the soundtrack and sound library scene -- and which comes off with a gentle, casual quality that makes for some extremely compelling tunes.
