1st album by the brilliant British early Jazz-Rock Fusion band Galliard, which somehow slipped into obscurity in spite of the fact that they were as good as any of the famous bands of the genre, which enjoyed enormous success, like Blood, Sweat & Tears for example. The band comprised of trumpeter Dave Caswell (who composed 2 of the tracks on this album, guitarist / vocalist Geoff Brown (who composed the rest of the material), bassist Andy Abbott, lead guitarist Richard Pannel, drummer Les Podraza and saxophonist John Smith, but was expanded by additional brass players during the recording session: saxophonist Lyle Jenkins, trumpeter Harry Beckett, trombonist John Hughes and others. The music is excellent, typical of the era, with unexpected turns and twists and superb brass arrangements, often quite complex and always beautifully executed. This is a true lost gem and Jazz-Rock Fusion / Prog fans not familiar with this heavenly music should embrace it with joy. Most warmly recommended!
