More Info:

Featuring truly a 'who's who' of late 60s British jazz, this professionally recorded concert, recorded April 18, 1969 in Germany, has never-before been released. At the time of the recording of this show, Surman had just finished recording his second album as a leader, How Many Clouds Can You See, so this is a unique chance to get an expanded view of his formative work as a leader and also at the early work of his musical compatriots who appear here with him. Surman states that "choice of material was up to me... and I wrote several pieces especially for the workshop-but it was customary to invite a few participants to bring a piece of their own if they wanted to; hence the pieces from Kenny, Erich and Fritz."
