? This magical box set features a unique
collaboration of some of the UK’s finest modern
jazz musicians, including the likes of pianist Stan
Tracey and saxophonist Bobby Wellins, together
with poets Pete Brown (co-writer/Cream) and
Michael Horovitz (Britain’s Beat Laureate).
? It features a live recording at Southampton
University Campus of post-bop jazz, poetry, jazz
poems and solo and exchange sound-poetry, as
well as performances of the most ambitious work
the Septet developed, Brown and Horovitz’s ‘Blues
For The Hitchhiking Dead’. The events of that night
were captured on a real-to-reel tape by the artist’s
friend Victor Schonfield.
? The box set contains a deluxe full size booklet
containing photos, reminiscences, essays and
memorabilia.
? “Sprawling, restless, surreal” – Jon Newey,
Jazzwise
? “An impeccable, 1960s, counter-culture document”
– Andrew Cartmel, LondonJazz News
