Double LP version "These unreleased 1970s sessions from legendary pianist/composer Michael Garrick, see him lead two groups of top Brit jazzers, who perform eight original compositions by Garrick that display his flair for combining emotive writing with modal jazz grooves The album is made up of two sessions recorded for BBC Radio 2 at Maida Vale Studios, from 1973 and 1978 that feature vocalist Norma Winstone, trumpeter Henry Lowther, saxophonists Art Themen, Tony Coe and Alan Wakeman, trombonist David Horler, bassists Dave Green and Jeff Clyne, and drummers Trevor Tomkins and John Marshall. The material, all composed by Garrick, includes some favorites from the classic LPs 'Troppo' and 'October Woman'. He wouldn't record the tracks 'River Running' and 'Galilee' until decades later, so this is the first time these '70s arrangements have been released. Whereas 'Robin's Rest' and the title track are exclusive to this album -- providing a fascinating insight into this uniquely talented artist. Garrick was at the forefront of British jazz from the mid-1960s until his death in 2011 aged 78. He was a key member of The Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, composing the jazz gems 'Dusk Fire' and 'Black Marigolds' and released a series of seminal 1960s and 1970s LPs including Cold Mountain, The Heart is a Lotus and Black Marigolds. Remastered by Caspar Sutton-Jones at Gearbox Records, Late Autumn Sunshine is available as a 2LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve (a limited edition of 600 copies) and 'mini-LP' gatefold CD, with sleeve notes by Daniel Spicer (Jazzwise, The Wire). Late Autumn Sunshine celebrates Michael Garrick's memory and should introduce him to many new fans."

Double LP version. "Previously unreleased recording of bassist/composer Graham Collier's seminal British jazz album Down Another Road recorded live in 1969 at Stockholm's Jazz Day festival, his all-star sextet includes jazz heavyweights Harry Beckett, Stan Sulzmann, Karl Jenkins and John Marshall. Since its release in 1969 on Fontana, Down Another Road has become a cornerstone of British jazz, with the LP now a much sought-after rarity that regularly exchanges hands for over £200. It's considered the revered composer Collier's greatest album by many of its fans, thanks to its highly melodic, almost pop-like themes and irresistible '60s groove, spurred on by the on-point drumming of Soft Machine/Nucleus drummer John Marshall. To make 'Down Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days '69' even more special, the abstract track 'Danish Blue' has been replaced by the similarly epic free jazz composition 'Burblings for Bob', which is released here for the first time. All the other tracks that everyone loves are present and correct -- 'Lullaby for a Lonely Child', 'Aberdeen Angus', 'Molewrench' etc. but with a rawer live feel to them, longer arrangements and more soloing -- with the band in scintillating form. Remastered from the original tapes by Caspar Sutton-Jones @ Gearbox Records. Sleeve notes by Graham Collier biographer Duncan Heining."
