Neil Ardley & the New Jazz Orchestra: On The Radio: BBC Sessions 1971
by Duncan Heining
Neil Ardley was a truly remarkable individual. As well as his work in jazz as a composer/band-leader/arranger, Neil was a scientific author with 101 books to his name, which sold over 10 million copies. I spoke to him once but, sadly, Ardley had died by the time I commenced work on my book on British jazz, ...
Neil Ardley & The New Jazz Orchestra: On The Radio: BBC Sessions 1971
by Roger Farbey
An hour's worth of archival Neil Ardley and the New Jazz Orchestra is always a welcome event since it features the cream of British jazz from the late 1960s, early 70s. But this CD is split into two half hour programmes. The first is a live recording of Neil Ardley conducting the New Jazz Orchestra for ...
A Madman’s Approach To Music And Why Can't Music Be Like A Tree?
by Duncan Heining
"Art alone makes life possible." --Joseph Beuys. The Glasgow Improvisers' Orchestra is unique. It's an over-used word, I know, but in this case fully justified. GIO are unique in so many ways--in the way they formed, the way they make decisions, in their make-up, how they work and most importantly how they sound. They ...
New Jazz Orchestra: Camden '70
by Duncan Heining
Colosseum toured with theNew Jazz Orchestra in 1970 but this is the first time that any records of that tour have surfaced. Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Tony Reeves featured in both bands. The New Jazz Orchestra recorded so little, that anything new is welcome. That it should be this good is an embarrassment of riches. ...
New Jazz Orchestra: Le Déjeuner Sur L’herbe
by Duncan Heining
I remember reading about this record in Melody Maker when it came out. These were all the people I admired in one band! Yet I never ever saw a copy until one day twenty years later in a record shop in Ipswich, I pulled this gem from the racks. £2.50! I couldn't believe the price or ...

Neil Ardley: Kaleidoscope of Rainbows
by AAJ Italy Staff
Neil Ardley è uno dei migliori arrangiatori espressi dalla musica jazz inglese negli ultimi quarant’anni. Non ha forse la capacità di essere originale e innovativo come Mike Gibbs, ma certamente sa fondere molto bene le esigenze anche formali della composizione raffinata con l’energia tipica della musica della seconda metà del secolo da poco terminato. La Dusk ...
