Monday Music Selection - Jazz and Blues

[jazzy_dave]

It is Monday - so Monday blues and jazz is in order.

Amancio D'Silva - Ganges

From the album "Integration"

Personnel: Amancio D'Silva, guitar; Ian Carr, trumpet and flugelhorn; Don Rendell, tenor and soprano sax; Dave Green, bass; Trevor Tomkins, drums


Made in '69, in London, by Indian guitarist Amancio D'Silva and four of Britain's finest jazzmen, it serves up a chili-rich dish of hard bop, Indian raga, ska, early electric Miles, a little rembetika, Link Wray and Willis Gator Jackson..
In the late '60s, the British jazz scene was still suffering from the crippling belief that the best jazz could only come out of the USA and that anything made in Britain must, by definition, be derivative and inferior. It was the Indo-jazz movement of the time, spearheaded by London-based Indian composer/arranger John Mayer and West Indian saxman Joe Harriott and their Indo-Jazz Fusions 1 and 2 albums, together with D'Silva, which as much as anything helped overturn this inferiority complex.
