there’s still that freshness that was around then, that lack of self-consciousness, in which a still quite small

community of improvisers were making rather than following rules. This record captures that. An extra track

was added for the CD release in 1991 and now, for this re-mastered edition, there’s a further addition, recorded

in 1999 at the last concert Fred and Lol did together. The sound quality is excellent and it’s a classic of its kind,

Lol, in particular, showing sides of his phenomenal musical intelligence with which many will be less familiar.
