Reissue, originally released in 1976.
Kaleidoscope of Rainbows
in unmistakably a trait d'union between the British (orchestral) jazz-rock heritage and a more confident way of writing. Heading clearly to different directions, the album showcases the talent of the main composer with the singular talent of trumpet player
Ian Carr
(
Nucleus
), cello player
Paul Buckmaster
(otherwise known for his collaboration with
David Bowie
and
Miles Davis
) and master clarinet player
Tony Coe
. This is the final part of an Ardley trilogy, preceded by
Greek Variations
(1969) and
A Symphony of Amaranths
(1971). Here,
Neil Ardley
uses Balinese scales -- the pelog, a Gamelan scale comprising seven notes, and the slendro, an older, more commonly used Gamelan scale. They are used in a variety of note patterns, each unique combination the basis of a series of "Rainbow" compositions, from "Rainbow 1" to "7". This brand new concept is fitting, showing different strategies and a more exotic feel with a certain minimalist counterpoint. A new beginning to a certain degree, with the spacey 1979 masterpiece
Harmony of the Spheres
soon to come. Fully licensed. 180 gram vinyl.
