Neil Ardley/Ian Carr/Don Rendell: Greek Variations (Columbia 1970)

Themed on a series of Greek Folk tunes, this LP is segmented into three sections (More or less one for each artist under the ultimate influence of Ardley) Ian Carr’s contribution (Incorporating pretty much the original Nucleus line up) is most notable. “Persephone’s Jive”, an intense upbeat stomp that takes the Greek theme, abstracts it, and blows it out with venom.
