Our Take

In the murky depths of the BBC Jazz Club archives, a hidden gem has been unearthed - the Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet's April 1965 session. This delightful live recording captures the quintet at the height of their creative powers, weaving a tapestry of warm, melodic jazz that is sure to transport you back in time.

Rendell and Carr's chemistry on saxophone and trumpet is undeniable, their interplay both intricate and effortless. The rhythm section, comprised of pianist Michael Garrick, bassist Dave Green, and drummer Trevor Tomkins, provides a solid foundation for the group's explorations, shifting seamlessly between delicate ballads and fiery, up-tempo numbers.

Standout tracks include the breezy "Blue Mosque" and the lively "Dusk Fire," both of which showcase the quintet's knack for crafting engaging, dynamic compositions. The group's influences are apparent - shades of Miles Davis and John Coltrane can be heard throughout - but they never feel derivative, always putting their own unique spin on the jazz tradition.

Overall, the Don Rendell / Ian Carr Quintet's BBC Jazz Club Session April 1965 is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado. With its unmatched musicianship, inventive arrangements, and undeniable charm, this album is a true testament to the enduring power of live jazz music. So grab your beret, pour yourself a glass of fine wine, and let yourself be swept away by the timeless sounds of this jazz classic.
