01 Dream Sequence (D'Silva) (32.00)
Silva Star SC912
Recorded 1972
Contributed by azule serape, who writes:-
An Indo-Jazz sort of thing from 1972 but perhaps not so well known as the original works by Joe Harriott & Co. The common denominator is violinist John Mayer.
Guitarist Amancio D'Silva 'conceived' the music and besides him, the musicians include John Mayer, Alan Branscombe, and Ray Swinfield.
The music is divided into 14 short and un-named parts which play through continuously as the 'Dream Sequence' although it is possible to access the individual tracks/parts.
A bit different and not to everyone's taste perhaps, but if you've heard 'Indo-Jazz Fusions' then you know what to expect. Good in parts with the odd solo spots for the jazzmen. No booklet notes and it would have been interesting to have read about the inspiration for the music.
FLAC from cd with booklet scans.
