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.

The original lp was called 'Bossa Nova Home And Away' which is very rare and the cd is now becoming equally so. Four extra tracks were added for cd issue and these are with a completely different group of musicians under the direction of Nelson Riddle.
The British group has some of the big names of the day including Tubby Hayes.

Contributed by jazzandylan - he also did the covers. All tracks but 03 have been issued on Gearbox vinyl which has been on sale for a while now. Jazzandylan supplied the material to them. He has now given the okay for the whole session to be posted here, it having been available for long enough. So even if you have the Gearbox LP, you'll need this too.

Jazzandylan says "This session was recorded by the late Bill Hugkulstone on a reel-to-reel tape recorder. He kindly transferred it to audio cassette for me at  a later date. This cassette is the source for this post.

July 30 2014: Some new covers above for copying if you would like them, also by jazzandylan. We're going to make it a small series.

Columbia/Lansdowne LP 12": 33SX1670
Recorded London March 20 1964
Contributed by bluebird.
Rip by Newmill Mark, who writes
A rare British jazz album from the adventurous Columbia Lansdowne series.  This seems to be the only project Mack was destined to lead on record, and I think we can safely assume it was because his ideas were a little bit more advanced than was advisable from a commercial point of view because here is one of the very few albums composed strictly in accordance with Schoenberg's twelve-tone system!
Never re-issued, on vinyl let alone CD, anyone who has read Max Harrison's approving essays in both his Jazz Retrospect and Essential Jazz Record books will have wondered what this fascinating album actually sounded like.  I know I did for many years until tracking it down, and it really is an interesting and rewarding listen.  Sometimes the paths jazz didn't follow seem to have held at least as much promise as those it did, and the unfamiliar but committed musicians together with the marvellous Shake Keane and Coleridge Goode from Joe Harriott's legendary quintet deserve our thanks for bringing to such vivid life this forgotten but unique work.
