A somewhat unusual
album this, bringing together some very
outstanding musicians, in a collaboration
which has a semi-classical feel with
distinct jazz overtones. I am very familiar
with the work of John Dankworth and
Paul Hart and less familiar with the
other musicians. John Dankworth of course,
qualified as a classical clarinet player
before embarking on a career in jazz.
Sultry Sundeck has Ducal tones about
it, it is in fact one of the Dankworth
compositions, he wrote 1,4,5 & 8,
whereas Argent wrote the others. Paul
Hart demonstrates his amazing versatility
by in this case playing violin throughout,
which he does with great aplomb.
The music is very easy
to listen to, I would even say it tends
towards the JAZZ FM at times, although
it has more jazz content than a lot
of their stuff! The compositions all
make good use of the very considerable
musical talent on display, the atmosphere
is joyful and I am sure it brought great
satisfaction to the participants, but
it did leave me wondering what market
it was aimed at.
