Sea Breezes – Solo Piano – Live In Durban 1987 (LP style sleeve)

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
CD (Item 627159) Fledgling (UK), 1987 — Condition: New Copy

Sublime solo piano from Chris McGregor – a wonderful late 80s recording that shows the pianist really working at the top of his game! The music is free and open, but also a bit more lyrical than some of McGregor's work of the 70s – still aware of the farther-reaches of jazz, but really hanging in a more melodic space – yet one that's also carved out of some modern, angular lines! The mixture of freedom and focus is really wonderful – and McGregor's got this quality that's right up there with the best solo work by Randy Weston or Abdullah Ibrahim – a quality that may well make this Chris' best album from these later years. Titles include "Two Ladies", "Big G", "Sonia", "Maxine", "Sweet As Honey", "Bakwetha", and "Sea Breeze".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
