0594 Peter Jacobsen [On Your Marks] FLAC 8(1.10.30)

Contributed by bluebird, who writes:-
This is one of the few cds recorded with pianist Peter (Pete) Jacobsen as leader.
Recorded live at the Peterborough Jazz Club in September 2001 shortly before his early death the following year aged 51, it is a real treat with superb location sound on a good instrument and first class backing.
Classically trained and blind from birth, Peter was one of those musicians who could play anything with anybody and appeared on numerous recordings during his short career. He is perhaps best known for his work with the Bobby Wellins Quartet during the late 1970s/early 1980s but he recorded with Peter King, Dick Morrissey, Chris Biscoe and Tim Whitehead amongst the many.
There was also an album ('Eleven Years From Yesterday') under the leadership of Free Jazz musician Philipp Wachsmann which I found totally impenetrable and which I just couldn't cope with. Anyone want to give that one a try?
Outside of jazz, he also played with the Rock Group 'Network', the Progressive Dance/House Group 'The Rurals' and the Irish Folk/Jazz Group 'Carmina', remaining with this latter group until his death. This obituary says it all.

If you don't know the name then do give this a try. It's quite unique and it might encourage you to seek out his other work. The title track of this cd is just stunning.
