Since it's release in 1969 on Fontana, 'Down Another Road' has become a
cornerstone of British jazz, with the LP now a much sought- after rarity that
regularly exchanges hands for over £200. It's considered the revered composer
Collier's greatest album by many of its fans, thanks to its highly melodic, almost
pop-like themes and irresistible '60s groove, spurred on by the on-point drumming
of Soft Machine/Nucleus drummer John Marshall.
To make 'Down Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days '69' even more special, the
abstract track "Danish Blue" has been replaced by the similarly epic free jazz
composition "Burblings for Bob", which is released here for the frst time. All the
other tracks that everyone loves are present and correct - "Lullaby for a Lonely
Child", "Aberdeen Angus", "Molewrench" etc. but with a rawer live feel to them,
longer arrangements and more soloing - with the band in scintillating form.
Remastered from the original tapes by Caspar Sutton-Jones @ Gearbox Records,
'Down Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days '69' is available as a limited edition
2LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve and 'mini-LP' gatefold CD, with sleeve notes
by Graham Collier biographer Duncan Heining.
