Grey-area reissue of this legendary album: the seminal "Shades Of Blue", a legendary modal LP that Miles Davies would have been proud of. The group's a quintet and the album features sublime solos from Don on soprano and tenor sax, alto, plus trumpet from Ian Carr, original copies change hands for over £2000 (!) making it one of the hardest to find records in the Lansdowne series & also one of the best by Britain's finest jazz group of the sixties. Not nearly celebrated enough, Rendell & Carr were Britain's answer to Miles & Coltrane. With beautiful, introspective modal numbers & a fine backing group consisting of Colin Purbrook (piano), Dave Green (bass) & Trevor Tomkin (drums), this is a firm winner through & through & comes highly recommended.
