Michael Gibbs' self-titled Deram LP. Recorded with British crossover titans including guitarist Chris Spedding, trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, and electric pianist Gordon Beck, the album was a seminal turning point in the history of U.K. jazz-rock, embracing avant-garde inspired brass passages, electrifying guitar solos and thunderous yet funky rhythms to create music entirely of its time but distinctly out of time as well. And for all its post-Hendrix sound and spirit, Michael Gibbs still retains the soulfulness of conventional jazz; the music speaks to the body as loudly as it does the intellect.
