Ian Carr's Nucleus / Roots (1973); „Roots“ ist ein Schlüsselwerk des britischen Jazz-Rock. Das Album verbindet komplexe Fusion-Arrangements mit einer warmen, organischen Klangästhetik. Groovende Basslinien, verspielte Bläser und psychedelisch angehauchte Keyboard-Passagen treffen auf improvisatorische Freiheit. Carrs Trompetenspiel ist zugleich lyrisch und kantig – stets mit klarem Ausdruck. #IanCarr #Jazz #Groove #FusionJazz #Blues #Fusion #JazzRock #Jazz #Funk #PsychedelicJazz

Nachdem der schottische Jazzmusiker #iancarr 6 Jahre im Rendel-Carr-Quintet Musik machte, startete der Trompeter mit der Band #nucleus ab 1970 dann richtig durch und veröffentlichte mit ihnen 19 Alben.
#roots von 1973 war das sechste Album der bis 1989 aktiven Band aus bis heute insgesamt 47 wechselnden Musikern. Carr litt an Alzheimer und starb 2007 nachdem die Band 2005 wieder zusammen fand. Das letzte Album erschien 2021.
I created a "Kind of Silent" playlist to feed my obsession w/ #MilesDavis In A Silent Way. Selections echo the vibe of the OG (nothing matches exactly): ethereal, proto-ambient, hypnotic, unhurried, spacious, serene, blissful, genre fluid. For patient listening, focused work, or insomnia.

(now with hashtags!) I'm just discovering #MilesintheSky, #MilesDavis's 1969 record. I have long known Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way, from the same period. This one is a little more structured, but has similar feel, bridging the divide between #jazz & R&B. I'm really enjoying it. thanks to #IanCarr's detailed biography of #Miles https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/miles-davis-ian-carr/1102976940 #fusion
#NowPlaying Ian Carr with Nucleus - Labyrinth (Vertigo, UK 1973).
“The inspiration of this work is the myth of the Minotaur.” Well, the artwork should have put me on the right track 😄
Great album by the way.

#IanCarr (This is getting infuriating #looseends :( )
A hero of the London experimental music scene once objected to my defending the late 70s Soft Machine, saying that band might as well be #Nucleus. He had somehow neglected to note that they were fucking amazing.
#TradeUnion #polytechnic college progressive jazz was always a good idea.
Been listening to #iancarr today - Belladonna from 1972. Very electric #milesdavis style trumpet with echo/ reverb but in a polite British way - laid back, stoned, washes of keys plus the occasional acid funk track. Recommended
