Solar Session

by Ian Carr Double Quintet

supported by

John Fenton I am a big fan of Nucleus and Ian Carr, and nice to find it on the day I caught up with and interviewed Brian Smith, the saxophonist on this and other Nucleus albums. Some of the finest Jazz of this era. JazzLocal32.com

Gregory Sadler Hi. Has the 10inch of this been released now. I preordered a few weeks back but no sign of it and usually your stuff comes very quickly . Sorry for bothering!

johnefenner Ian was a suberb musician and particularly trumpet/fluglehorn player and a jazz guru. I used to watch Nucleus live regularly and had one of the original pressings of Elastic Rock (wish I still had it!!).The Solar Plexus work was a great piece.
