In March 2020 one of the most important large groups in European jazz, The London Jazz Composers Orchestra celebrated its golden anniversary over three days in Krakow which culminated in the triumphant performance of \"Harmos\" heard here. Long a staple of the LJCO repertoire, with its beautiful central tune, it's one of leader Barry Guy's most approachable works.
