Notes:
Sub-titled
"Rare, classic & unique modern jazz from Britain 1963-1974".
Two
LPs, all four labels are identical aside from the number of record, 1 or 2, and which side – 1 or 2. The absence of track
listing led to another breaking of vinyl
rules – writing on the label.
Impressed
with Gilles Peterson Vol 2 is a second volume of unique, rare and beautiful
British jazz . This album sees him uncover more exceptional UK jazz from the
60s and 70s. Featuring landmark recordings, elusive rarities and previously
unreleased exclusives, Impressed Vol 2 builds on the success of the first
volume, with many of the tracks reissued for the first time since their
original release.
Peaceful
mellow numbers with lush orchestration is taken care of by the likes of Michael
Garrick and the Stan Tracey Quartet, dancefloor bombs belong Tubby Hayes and
Paul Gonsalves and Amancio D'Silva is in
charge of the exotic moments. Essential music from a forgotten corner of the
jazz spectrum.

Hi, I wrote the sleeve notes for both volumes of Impressed, and sourced the tapes we used for the mastering – the Lansdowne tapes were held in the old Polygram archive in Germany (incl Hum Dono which was always assumed lost). The Fontana/Argo/Decca material was from tapes held in the Decca archive in Hampstead. The image of Giles at the DJ controls was taken in the club in Old St called Cargo... I also worked on the BBC TV series Jazz Britannia, researching and writing the script. After Impressed 1 & 2, I suggested to Universal that they do a comprehensive reissue series of selected albums – Garrick, Westbrook, Tubby, Ardley, Rendell Carr, Harriott etc.

After Impressed 1 & 2, I suggested to Universal that they do a comprehensive reissue series of selected albums – Garrick, Westbrook, Tubby, Ardley, Rendell Carr, Harriott etc.
They
initially agreed and so we set up the Impressed Re-pressed sub-label. The first
batch was Amancio D’Silva ‘Integration’, Garrick ‘Troppo’ etc, five in total.
Sadly, Universal didn’t want to do LPs just CDs – and even then they skimped on
the packaging and artwork. I had flagged about 30 titles to reissue. Come the
second batch, they decided just to do five Tubby Hayes CDs and basically use
the Japanese reissue CDs and sources, not go to the tapes – which existed.
Again, cutting costs. There were no more in the series after that – there were
personnel changes in Universal and the meagre support for the project that
existed was gone – Universal had no interested in it any more and was keener to
sign army wives choirs and singing monks (seriously).
I
did manage to compile a volume 3 but it was never released but did slip out on
a blog. Roll on to about 2009, I contacted Universal (why??) with some other
ideas: a comp of Japanese jazz and European jazz drawn from their own
catalogue. They agreed, so I duly comped and wrote sleeve notes: 20,000 for
‘Jazz Japan’ & nearly 40,000 for ‘Jazz Europa’. I delivered the comps and
notes. I then suggested why not have a trilogy? So, I convinced them to agree
to a third, another British comp, ‘Jazz Britannia’. I selected the tracks and
wrote 40,000 words of notes. I even got Don Rendell to write an intro piece.
Where are they? Still sitting on someone’s desk at Universal, in limbo. I’ll
never work with Universal again. Awful people...
Finally,
the fingerprints on the Impressed sleeves are mine.
