These arrangements provide a fresh take on the genius of Django. In addition. they not only showcase Rez Abassi's playing, but also his willingness to share the spotlight with his bandmates in a true trio recording that is all the more enjoyable because of it. PDD
This never saw the light of day way back in 1969…I remember seeing John Surman play many times in that period in many configurations…but perhaps not like this!
It’s a wonderful find (it’s been in the Cuneiform catalogue for a good while now) but I reckon it’s worth bringing it to the fore again, especially in light of the recent Soft Machine release. John Cratchley
