Foxy Trot (Original Version)

Keep On Driving by Don 'Sugarcane' Harris, released on MPS in 1970.

...The rocking Keep On Driving features Kriegel’s funky guitar and a jazzy exploratory solo by Taylor, with Harris sticking to the melody. Blues On The Moon goes extraterrestrial with Oxley bowing his amplified cymbals before Harris gets into a down an’ dirty blues. Which Way Is The Bathroom is a swinging minor key modal jazz masterpiece in which each band member solos, and they all shine. The smooth-flowing 6/8 tempo of Desiree highlights Harris’ romantic side and includes an outstanding Taylor solo. On the hard-swinging Almost Broke, all three front men have their say, and the down-home funk of Coitus Interruptus contrasts with the emotional jazz reminiscences of Remember The Past. Classic Harris combining jazz, blues, and rocking soul. - MPS

New #review today: "A drummer’s drummer, composer, and electronic musician in #jazz circles, #TonyOxley has been playing with the best of Britain’s jazz players longer than most of us have been alive. Born in June 1938, the sad news is that Oxley passed away on December 26th, 2023 at the age of 85, so the review of this excellent album will be somewhat overshadowed by his passing. The New World contains six of Oxley’s percussion compositions..." #ExposeOnline #AvantGarde http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/tony-oxley-the-new-world-3.html

After reading Richard Williams' obituary for #TonyOxley I am recalling two different late-70s trio performances in #Glasgow : at Glasgow Film Theatre with pianist Howard Riley and bassist Barry Guy, then 18 months later at the Third Eye Centre with painter / saxophonist Alan Davie and violinist Phil Wachsmann.
