This is the only LP for this particular assemblage or personnel. The band's info is on this page. The namesake, Henry Lowther, is an "English trumpeter and flugelhorn player, born 11 July 1941 in Leicester, Leicestershire, England, UK." Note Daryl Runswick (eg, Atlantic Bridge, Hymas/Runswick Big Bands, libraries with Monkman, etc.) on bass and percussion.
Henry Lowther was in the unbelievably brilliant one-off high-prog fusion band called Coley (brainchild of Barry Cole) that I posted back here. Looks like he worked with multiple other Brit luminaries, like Keith Tippett, Kenny Wheeler, Colin Towns, etc. This album is wonderful early fusion mixed with the contemporary jazz style that you'd expect from the individual musical components / players.
I love the string quartet compositions in general, when they're well written at least, which is why I drool over the one called Between:
This then serves as intro to the next track, called Puppet Song:

ReplyDeleteBy the way he collaborated with the 80s jazz rock RMS [Ray Mo & Simon], do you have it?
Happy new year with lots of music!
I posted back here in 2021 with all the ray russell material, since he was a member, you likely already have it:
