about

This music was recorded on 23rd December 1975 in a rehearsal room in London. It is the spontaneous tribute of four musicians who had assembled in London for the Memorial Service to their friend. No discussion took place beforehand and nothing was said during the session, save through the music.

First released in 1976 on LP (OGD001/002) in abbreviated form, the double CD version from the 'Blue Notes - The Ogun Collection' box set from 2008 restored the previously released sections of music to their original context and contains virtually everything recorded that day.

The CD album is now available for the first time as a stand alone release.

Look at the playing musicians and consider when the music was played (1972). It was an historic get together. Luckily the music was as wonderful as expected. Ulrich Jonas

One of my cherished LP's from my teenage years. Since I don't have a record player anymore, I'm very glad I found a digital replacement. willem minderhout
