Heart Is A Lotus
CD (Item 384195) Argo/Vocalion (UK), 1970 — Condition: New Copy
Beautiful modal vocal jazz from the British scene at the end of the 60s – and one of the key recordings by the team of Michael Garrick and Norma Winstone! Winstone's vocals here rank right up there with those of Karin Krog or Monica Zetterlund – creating a whole new style for the voice in jazz, as they dance along with the freely searching work of Garrick's sextet on the record. There's a sense of lyrical poetry to the album that's really beautiful – and not just carried by Winstone's vocals, but also by the soaring horn work of Ian Carr on trumpet, Don Rendell on soprano, Art Themen on flute, and Jim Phillip on tenor. But rhythm is also a key aspect of the session – and most tunes dance along in a flurry of bass and drum interplay, hitting that warm modal groove that's been recently rediscovered by the Gilles Peterson Impressed series! Titles include "The Heart Is A Lotus", "Torrent", "Temple Dancer", "Blues On Blues", "Voices", and "Beautiful Thing". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
