Don Rendell / Ian Carr: Shades of Blue 1965
Posted on September 7, 2008 by Folkishienne
The first of the Rendell / Carr quintet series, this LP features Colin Purbrook on keys (Garrick joined the quintet on Dusk fire) Overall a great LP but perhaps not quite as solid as Dusk Fire. Carr describes the aim of the LP in the sleeve notes stating. “ What Don and I aimed at was to play the blues - either in form or in feeling.” The track that for me achieves this best is Blue Mosque…Sadly the condition of my copy is tragic, several loud clicks & pops. I’ve tried to remove them with a friend in his studio for this recording so it doesn’t sound too bad (Hope it works).
"Blue Mosque"
