Thank you BBC in 1987 or 1988 for making me discover him and fallling in love with this stunning musician, own and cherish proudly some of his albums !

This was in my life (now 56) the golden age of jazz: Tommy Smith, Jason Rebello, Andy Sheppard, Julian Joseph in their prime.

Excellent quartet. Great solos by Robello and Smith.

Tommy was very Garbarek influenced there. Became his own man though and never looked back.

Beautiful fun and perfectly meandering. This is incredible to find this!!!! Why isnt it on Apple Music though and remastered please? I think its quirky and stunning all in one. It even sounds like a sort of character alligator waddling about. Its all come flooding back hearing this in Edinburgh as a teen - Blown away.... pls pls is there a remaster of it- I only had it on tape I think!

Well said Mate !! !! You nailed it! Stay well. New York CIty.
