TIPPETT GROUP, KEITH - You Are Here... I Am There

"Reissue. The debut album by forward thinking English piano player Keith Tippett was a turning point in British jazz evolution. The overall atmosphere and aura of You Are Here... I Am There points at the influences of jazz musicians such as John Coltrane , Archie Shepp , and Charles Mingus . This strong tendency points to other contemporary European players like Jan Garbarek and Miles biographer Ian Carr . Tippett's compositional style also reveals traces of his classical training, unveiled by a harmonic and dynamic awareness. Bridging the line between UK more adventurous prog-rock and Afro-American fire music, this 1970 album stands as a masterpiece on its own."
