Here's a bumper package to relish. Not one but three classic Brit jazz albums that come replete with a 17,000-word booklet that includes contemporary interviews with artists related to the projects. What binds the releases is that they were produced by Peter Eden's Turtle label that, in a heady period, recorded some of the best British and European jazz. Osborne's Outback was re-issued on Further Music and remains an extraordinary, vital recording. Although Osborne's trio work with Moholo and Miller remains iconic, the addition of two like-minded souls in Beckett and McGregor donates a lyrical, even melodic counter voice to Osborne's Ornette-like keening. Outback’s two extended cuts sit well with the equally exuberant and essentially free songs that comprise Riley's Flight. Here's a trio touched by genius, each player true to their individual voice but able to reflect and act in the moment to the events around them. Riley's opening ‘Motion’ is succulently mellow and the perfect set up for Oxley's riotous ‘Cirrus’ as the sticks man explores his amplified percussion vocab. Throughout it all Guy is like no other acoustic bass player on the UK scene. The much missed Taylor may not explore the free energies exhibited by Riley's and Osborne's bands, but in contrast his compositions unleash stellar sax men revelling in the very bliss of youth, knowing exactly what they're at while giving themselves up to the sheer pleasure of blowing. And for a sumptuous bonus, Winstone swoons her way through ‘White Magic’. This is a box of pleasures evocative of its time, yet as fresh and relevant as ever.
