McGregor Group, The Chris

Very Urgent

Label: Fledg'ling Country: UK

Credited to pianist Chris McGregor before forming his Brotherhood of Breath band, Very Urgent was actually the debut recording of the group Blue Notes. An amzing South African Jazz sextet, most of the bands pieces were written by McGregor, with one track by saxophonist Dudu Pukwana, and one traditional African tune. The band moved from South Africa to London, establishing themselves as one of the great free jazz bands of the European scene. This long-awaited reissue has been remastered, finally bringing this exhilarating album back to an eager public.
