Michael Garrick: Promises (Argo 1965)

A very solid modal LP featuring Joe Harriott, Ian Carr et al. Following a lengthy search for a decent copy, I was fairly alarmed when this one turned up in a used pizza box! Somehow it made it to me without a mark, the vinyl un-played the cover smelling lightly of Margarita. Song by the sea is a gentle killer that goes down well with coffee in the morning. Apparently inspired by a poem by Laurie Lee.
