About
Written by Richard Morton Jack (Galactic Ramble, Psychedelia, Nick Drake: The Life), Labyrinth is a massive limited edition hardback, printed on high-quality art paper, with a debossed cover and cloth quarter-binding.
It celebrates over three hundred albums, offering detailed background info about each, alongside excerpts from original reviews and masses of high-quality images that reproduce their fabulous artwork and labels at near-full size. It also features a lengthy introduction by Tony Reeves (Mike Taylor Quartet, New Jazz Orchestra, Colosseum etc).
Covering abstract jazz, avant-garde jazz, serial jazz, free jazz, Indo-jazz, jazz-rock and more, it tells a story Britain should be proud of: open-minded and creative musicians pushing the boundaries of their art in the face of penury and indifference, and welcoming influences from a range of other cultures via immigrant musicians such as Joe Harriott (Jamaica), Amancio D’Silva (India), Guy Warren (Ghana) and Harry Beckett (Barbados).
Labyrinth is a limited edition large-format hardback, quarter-bound in cloth, 372pp.
