Editorial Reviews

After years of marrying classical composition with inspired jazz improvisation, this director of the New Jazz Orchestra introduced shimmering synths and surreal sonic odysseys on this 1978 LP. You'll hear John Martyn on guitar as you drift through Glittering Circles; Fair Mirage; Soft Stillness and the Night; Towards Tranquility; Leap in the Dark , and more!

This review is from: Harmony of the Spheres (Audio CD)

I actually had this recording and Kalidescope of Rainbows back in the seventies. There is more interesting synthesizer work from Neil on this recording. John Martyn (English folk writer/player) does some wonderful electric guitar work on this record. The songs are more humble than anything on Kalidescope and this is my favorite of the two Neil Ardley recordings that I know of. Somewhat ahead of it's time. Some interesting grooves-all instrumental.
