Collier steers the band through the five-part suite that encompasses beautifully composed melodies, driving jazz rock and as many extremes as the British weather that inspired its name.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRemastered from the original tapes by Caspar Sutton-Jones @ Gearbox Records, 'British Conversations' is available as a limited edition (500 units worldwide) 2LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve and 'mini-LP' gatefold CD, with sleeve notes by Graham Collier biographer Duncan Heining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGraham Collier (1937 - 2011) was one of the most accomplished, popular and collectable British jazz artists during the Brit-jazz heyday of the '60s and '70s, with his career of musically challenging yet hugely rewarding albums spanning five decades. His early LPs 'Deep Dark Blue Centre' (Deram, 1967), 'Down Another Road' (Fontana, 1969) and 'Darius' (Mosaics, 1974,) are rightly considered classics of the era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReleased in co-operation with the Collier estate, we hope this wonderful record leads to many new people discovering and enjoying the music of Graham Collier.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePress:\u003cbr\u003eReviews confirmed in MOJO, Jazzwise, Shindig!, Echoes, Prog Magazine + UK Vibe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHale London - Alan McKinnon’s cult Saturday morning jazz vinyl show Duvet Rustling Jazz will be premiering a track on 28\/08\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTracks:\u003cbr\u003eCD tracks:\u003cbr\u003e1.
