Greek Variations and Other Aegean Exercises

Originally released in 1970, and now much sought after by collectors and connoisseurs, original copies sell for upwards of £600. Considered one of Neil Ardley's best compositions, 'Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises' ranks as not only one of the finest expressions of British progressive modern jazz but also one of the very best recordings to emerge from Denis Preston's celebrated Lansdowne Studios, home to some of the most highly-regarded British modern jazz of the era. It's also an important junction point in the careers of the Ardley, Carr and Rendell, showing three distinct pathways that British jazz would follow in the subsequent years: Ardley's orchestrated and expanded explorations; Carr's jazz rock, and Rendell's more orthodox acoustic approach.
