  • Description

    RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2017



    • REMASTERED EDITION OF THE CLASSIC 1970 ALBUM BY THE LEGENDARY JOHN McLAUGHLIN, JOHN SURMAN, KARL BERGER, STU MARTIN AND DAVE HOLLAND.



    • REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL DAWN RECORDS MASTER TAPES WITH FULLY RESTORED ARTWORK AND LINER NOTES BY SID SMITH.


    The product of a recording session in New York City in 1970, ‘Where Fortune Smiles’ is one of the milestone albums to be recorded at a time when the divisions between the worlds of jazz and rock were less defined and albums such as ‘Bitches Brew’ by Miles Davis and the work of Tony Williams’ Lifetime pointed a new direction in music.


    Originally released on Pye Records’ Progressive imprint Dawn Records, ‘Where Fortune Smiles’ was recorded fresh on the heels of John McLaughlin and Dave Holland’s work with Miles Davis, John Surman’s work with Mike Westbrook and The Trio (with Stu Martin) - original vinyl copies of the record now command large sums from collectors.
