Neil Ardley: Symphony of Amaranths (Regal Zonophone 1972)
This Lp plays host to numerous British Jazz players. Norma Winstone features on three tracks, ‘Will you walk a little faster’ was comped by Peterson, however ‘After Long Silence’ and ‘She weeps over Rahoon’ are both very warm and emotive the latter being warm yet sombre. The tracks fade into one another on the LP, so they have been recorded here as one long track. Both cuts are fairly straight poem renditions (After Long Silence by W.B Yeats) (She Weeps over Rahoon by James Joyce).

such a cool album. great to see some brit-jazz up here.
Heard this for the 1st time on Jazz FM yesterday and had to wait for the playlist to find out what it was called – and finally hearing it on your site, playing it over & over & over…Thank you very much.
