Curlew - Mercury CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
Rune 177
"Curlew was formed in 1979 by George Cartwright, the group's leader, saxophonist, and main composer. Cartwright's compositions are at once direct and mysterious, possessing a clarity and focus that show both Ellington and Ornette assimilated in a most unique way.
Backed by the hard-rocking unit of Chris Parker-electric keyboards and piano, Dean Granros-guitar, Fred Chalenor-bass and Bruce Golden-drums, Curlew somehow manage to combine rnb swagger and groove with free jazz and wild soloing into a whole that is immediately identifiable as nothing other than Curlew! As a unit Curlew is focused and structured...(they are) a finely tuned machine with a sparkling identity." - All About Jazz.
Curlew are well known and well respected for almost 25 years of exciting work. Mercury is their 10th release; may they rock for another 25!!
