The New Don Rendell Quintet - Roarin' flac album

Recorded in '61, the album catches Don Rendell, aged 35, returning to the scene after a year or so's absence, secure in the style which would help make the quintet he later co-led with Ian Carr such a consistently exciting force in British jazz. Passionate, unruly and gloriously rough-edged-Rendell has always placed emotional content above all else-his playing is a turbulent joy throughout (and you can hear why he was the '60s session saxophonist of choice for R&B vocalist Long John Baldry). Remarkable too is the presence of Graham Bond. Interestingly, Roarin' was produced by the fledgling US producer Ed Michel (the album's original issuing label, Jazzland, was a subsidiary of Riverside). Michel's work here is solid if unspectacular, but he did go on to produce Alice Coltrane's defining Ptah, The El Daoud in '70, amongst other key Impulse! albums, and everybody deserves the chance to warm up.
