Album Notes & Community Reviews
Representing a radical breakthrough in the British jazz scene, this quintet pioneers a concept referred to as 'free form' improvisation independently of concurrent American developments. While completely abandoning preset chord changes in specific sections, the group retains a strong sense of internal logic and rhythmic propulsion. 'Movement' is a vital early cornerstone of European avant-garde music, blending bop aesthetics with abstract tonal painting.
