joe harriott / amancio d'silva quartet: hum-dono

Released in 1969, this is probably the best modern British jazz LP of all time. A beguiling mix of East meets West rhythms, ideas and joy, repressed with an authentic flip back sleeve. A sax player hailing from the Jamaican Alpha School. A sublime guitarist from Mumbai. A tight quintet with special guests that include Norma Winstone on improvised wordless vocals. One session, 1969, at the very peak of British jazz invention and sound. This album is brilliant and addictive in so many ways. It really does not get batter. Miss this at your peril.
