Harold McNair ORIG UK LP The fence VG+ '70 B&C CAS1016 Soul Jazz Keith Tippett


Rare 1st Press UK LP released in 1970 on B&C Records. Cat: CAS1016. Comes in a gatefold sleeve. Has front pink pockert but not the balloon.
Flute and sax player Harold McNair is best known to pop and rock fans for his work as a session man on numerous Donovan recordings. However, he did come from the world of jazz, and it's not a surprise to find this that this 1970 album (released shortly before his death) is very much an instrumental jazz recording, not a pop or rock one. At the same time, it's not wholly devoid of influence from pop, folk, and blues, particularly as some of the players will be recognizable to many rock fans. Those include not only McNair, but also pianist Keith Tippett, Pentangle rhythm section Terry Cox and Danny Thompson, and in the biggest surprise, Family/Blind Faith bassist Rick Grech. With the first two tracks lasting about six minutes and the remaining three a little more than ten minutes each, it's pretty much a straight-ahead jazz date with a little bluesy soul-jazz groove in the arrangements.
