CD ELTON DEAN'S UNLIMITED SAXOPHONE COMPANY

Description

Elton Dean's Unlimited Saxophone Company is an exceptional jazz work that captures the energy and creativity of the late 1980s British jazz scene. Originally recorded live at the Covent Garden Jazz Saxophone Festival in 1989, this album was reissued on May 24, 2024, in an elegant digisleeve package featuring new artwork and notes. Elton Dean, renowned for his tenure with Soft Machine, leads this sextet comprising leading British saxophonists, including Paul Dunmall and Trevor Watts, supported by a rhythm section of Paul Rogers on double bass and Tony Levin on drums. The album offers rich and lyrical compositions that reflect Dean's arranging prowess and melodic sensibility. The CD also includes a code to download remastered recordings from the 1991 Le Mans concert, providing listeners with a deeper insight into the work of this short-lived yet significant ensemble.
