Thought you knew about British jazz? Think again. Diving into the unknown world of the private pressing, Jazzman Records presents some of the rarest and wildest British jazz ever recorded! The major stars of British jazz such as
Stan Tracey
,
Michael Garrick
, and
Joe Harriott
are now rightly recognized as the giants they were, and the legendary Brit jazz recordings of the 1960s are amongst the most highly-prized of all collectable records. But what happened to jazz in the UK when the recording industry lost faith in it?
A New Life
is the first survey of British jazz labels and musicians that went their own way in the 1970s, bringing to the light the unknown indie gems and outsider private pressings that let jazz musicians keep the faith into the 1980s. From the time-bending spirit music of London's
Lori Vambe
to the psych-jazz of Birmingham's
Poliphony
, via
Spot the Zebra
's jazz dedication to
David Attenborough
and
Indiana Highway
's modal Christmas carolling,
A New Life
chronicles a compelling selection of lost and obscure jewels of the British jazz underground. Compiled by
Francis Gooding
and
Duncan Brooker
(the team responsible for the acclaimed
Next Stop Soweto
series), and presented with comprehensive and detailed liner notes with pictures and information on each track, created from interviews with the musicians involved,
A New Life
is the first major British jazz collection since
Gilles Peterson
's
Impressed
series (2002-2004), and the first ever to shed light on the forgotten legacy of independent, regional, and experimental Brit jazz. All tracks fully licensed and digitally restored. CD includes 24-page booklet with pictures and extensive notes based on original research. Gatefold double LP limited to 1000 copies. Also includes tracks by
Joy
,
Nottingham Jazz Orchestra
,
Billy Jenkins & The Voice of God Collective
,
London Jazz IV
,
Graham Collier
,
Quincicasm
,
Frank Evans
,
Edge
,
Walsall Youth Jazz
.
