Change in direction back to the pure progressive material, this gentleman was a bassist from the US who played in multiple well known UK bands, of note he was in Caravan and Curved Air, but later in fusion outfits Quantum Jump and Aviator. This is his best work, a nice meld of mostly instrumental thoughtful prog rock, very light fusion, and dreamy kind of vocals here and there. On top of that it seems to be a kind of concept album describing the English countryside at various times of day. Note that Michael Giles (ie the KC guy) appears here on drums and Rupert Hine on piano. I think it's unfortunate he didn't make more like this, though perhaps it's understandable given how the trends were moving away from this kind of relaxed, composed, intelligent prog.

Thank you. Osti Jarej.
ReplyDeleteHey @julianryan how can i reach out to you in private? I gotta ask you about some unknown prog, jazzrock etc songs. please help me .
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, this is a very nice album, but never really a life changer. On the other, I’ve returned to it again and again over the years. Glad to have a digital copy to return to again and again going forward. Don’t think I’ve seen it posted before. Well played Julianryan and very much appreciated.
ReplyDeleteGreat one that I'm glad to see posted too,
ReplyDeletea mellow daybreak feel to this gem...excellent!
Didn't know he was in Quantum Jump,
I'll have to revisit those Lps and the others!
Thank you Julian!
