One from the Spotlite label, that major supporter of British jazz and talent old and new. Owner and producer Tony Williams surely deserves some kind of award for all he has done for music in the UK.
Whilst some of the issues have appeared on CD, this recorded in 1985 hasn't.
It features the music of pianist Pete Saberton and a group of contemporary musicians but it's very accessible so don't be put off by that. The record has an interesting, but perhaps confusing, rear sleeve design. You have to keep turning it round to read it - a bit like using the steering wheel of a car.
