Neil Ardley's "A Symphony of Amaranths", one of the most important British jazz albums ever recorded is being reissued for the first time on CD since its original release in 1971. Amongst the stellar line-up of musicians who appear on the album are names such as Henry Lowther, Harold Beckett, Derek Wadsworth, Ray Premru, Barbara Thompson, Dave Gelly, Don Rendell, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Stan Tracey, Karl Jenkins, Alan Branscombe, Frank Ricotti, Chris Laurence, Jeff Clyne, Jon Hiseman plus vocals from Ivor Cutler and Norma Winstone. This reissue is limited to 1000 copies only and is being made available on the Dusk Fire label. The official release date is 21 January 2013 but the album is also being sold from the Dusk Fire website. This is a very welcome reissue.

Thanks Roger. I still have my vinyl of this but a CD version is a must have.

I landed my copy today and am listening now. A very welcome reissue indeed Roger! This is my first encounter with this music, but not my first with Ardley...it's a superb album. And, it could have been recorded yesterday - time has not dimmed its brilliance!

The sound is great - it's obviously been remastered with great care - and the repackaging presents a very good overview of the recording session with detailed notes by Dave Gelly, a journalist and musician who played on the date.

Those involved in the album's reissue are to be commended for making it available again!

Sambrasa, thanks for this, looks really excellent. Nothing showing about it on the Cuneiform website but I'm cheered by this news particularly as there currently seems to be a dearth of British reissues and archives (other than the great Neil Ardley Symphony of Amaranths).
