John Surman • Alan Skidmore • Tony Oxley

Russian 2024 press.
Archival fire from three UK jazz titans catching the free/avant wave as it hit. Surman and Skidmore’s saxes lock horns while Oxley throws drums like bricks through a window. Chaotic, fearless, and proof that Britain could get just as out-there as the Yanks when it came to jazz going off the rails. FFO: Coltrane’s ghost in Soho, cymbals used as weapons, saxophones in a shouting match, and anyone who thinks jazz should come with a crash helmet.
