The debut album by forward thinking English piano player Keith Tippett was a turning point in British jazz evolution. The overall atmosphere and aura of You Are Here... I Am There points at the influences of jazz musicians such as John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, and Charles Mingus. This strong tendency points to other contemporary European players like Jan Garbarek and Miles biographer Ian Carr. Tippett's compositional style also reveals traces of his classical training, unveiled by a harmonic and dynamic awareness. Bridging the line between UK more adventurous prog-rock and Afro-American fire music, this 1970 album stands as a masterpiece on its own.
