Description
Paul Dunmall has always been a great believer in John Coltrane, even taking the opportunity to play with Alice Coltrane on an early USA tour decades ago. His fans have waited a long time to hear his dedication to Trane, but it has been well worth the wait. Paul takes a few of Coltrane's themes, pared to a minimal sax and drums, which emphasises the strength of the compositions. Tony Bianco's ever-inventive work is there in company with the sax, rather than accompanying.
The recording was made in Delbury Hall in the Shropshire hamlet of Diddlebury - a far cry from the North Carolina Hamlet where, 85 years earlier, the spirit of Coltrane arrived in this world...and so his music and the spirit of that music, will continue to move on through time and space.
Personnel: Paul Dunmall (tenor and soprano saxophones), Tony Bianco (drums)
