The blues runs through this whole album. As John McLaughlin once said 'if you take rhythm and blues out of jazz then you got no jazz. This track happened by accident. I was trying to get my walking bass lines together and ended up playing this blues.
One of the interesting things about the blues is that if you keep pushing against it you go into abstraction. Coltrane did this to great effect on the song Chasin' the 'Trane. I try my best to do that here.
In April 2014 I visited a recording studio with two of my favourite musicians and recorded this... Murphy McCaleb on trombone, Steve Lawson on bass and myself on drums. Andy Edwards
Summary: A great album. I'll play it many times again, currently also my "end of the day immersion" choice, where it's percolating well : )
