Description
I'm selling my personal collection of rare 60s and 70s modern British jazz over the next few weeks. This really was a golden age for British jazz and these are LPs I bought in the 70s and have had ever since. This auction is for Celebration but please see below for the others.
Celebration. The Mike Westbrook Concert Band
Decca Deram SML 1013 Stereo
Composed by Mike Westbrook and John Surman with shades of Ellington and Mingus, this is British jazz at it's very very best. Recorded in 1967, a jazz suite of stunning depth, drive and excitement on this landmark album featuring early work from John Surman. Brooding, menacing but beautiful, it oozes '60s. It would be seriously hard to find better jazz from either side of the Atlantic.

Side 2 - A Greeting, Image, Dirge, Portrait.
Mike Westbrook, piano.
John Surman, baritone and soprano sax, bass clarinet.
