Neil Ardley - Kaleidoscope of Rainbows

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was reading about the late Neil Ardley's 1976
Jazz/Fusion album "Kaleidoscope of Rainbows" the other day and saw it
had been re-issued at some point.  Can any tell me what this album
is like?  I know it isn't prog as such, but I know a lot of you
people cross over into Jazz/Fusion.

This album includes a great amount of the 1970s jazz brass players and other musicians:

 Neil Ardley: director, synthesiser
 Bob Bertles: alto, soprano, flute
 Paul Buckmaster: acoustic, electric cello
 Ian Carr: trumpet, flugelhorn
 Geoff Castle: electric piano, synthesiser
 Tony Coe: tenor, clarinet, bass clarinet
 Dave Macrae: electric piano, synthesiser
 Roger Sellers: drums
 Ken Shaw: guitar
 Brian Smith: tenor, soprano, flute, alto flute
 Roger Sutton: bass guitar, electric bass
 Barbara Thompson: alto, soprano, flute
 Trevor Tomkins: percussion, vibraphone

I've read that way back in the early 1960s, the following jazz players were part of the band: Dave Gelly, Ian Carr, Dick Heckstall Smith, Tony Reeves, Jack
Bruce, Norma Winstone, Michael Garrick, Paul Rutherford, Trevor Watts,
Art Theman, Harry Beckett and Henry Lowther.

Any thoughts on this album would be appreciated, as well as the two preceding albums also.

James.
