Description
In 1969 the Chris McGregor Group were riding high on the London jazz scene, playing and hanging out with all the rising stars of British free jazz. Sessions for the previously unreleased Up To Earth brought together a dream team of South African exiles and some of the finest young players on the British scene:
Chris McGregor (piano), Mongezi Feza (trumpet), Dudu Pukwana (alto saxophone), Evan Parker (tenor saxophone), John Surman (baritone saxophone and bass clarinet), Barre Phillips or Danny Thompson (double bass) and Louis Moholo (drums).
The album was produced by Joe Boyd and engineered by John Wood at Sound Techniques studio in London, during the same months they were also working with several other luminaries of the Witchseason stable - Fairport Convention, Nick Drake and The Incredible String Band. The album was mastered and test pressings produced before the project was shelved. The group morphed into the spectacular big band - The Brotherhood Of Breath – and all energies were transferred to recording the Brotherhood's debut album. -
