A fairly-well travelled cornet player that was a regular on the London-jazz, Mark Charig is probably best-known for his tenure in the Keith Tippett Group and accompanying him in the King Crimson albums like Lizard and Island, not to mention a very short passage in Soft Machine. A rather longish album for the era (almost 54 minutes), Pipedream should be approached carefully by those prog fans curious about Charig’s name as a leader, but then again Keith Tippett’s name and the Ogun label do give a warning of what to expect from and album that promises a Pipedream. Definitely worth a listen, if only for Tippett’s presence on the church organ.
The album is a re-issue of the 1977 Ogun LP, now remastered and with an additional track. The album is absolutely exceptional. The seven tracks are improvisations, performed in St. Stephen's Church in Bristol on some cold January days in 1977.
