RELEASE DESCRIPTION

In 1975, the lead album "Fragment" by the acclaimed UK jazz pianist John Taylor, which was previously only released on cassette tape and hailed as a gem of UK jazz, is now being remastered and released for the first time on 2LP, following its immediate sellout upon its limited CD release in 2022!! The original recordings released on cassette tape serve as highlights of performances by John Taylor and a group of elite musicians, including Kenny Wheeler, with whom Taylor has collaborated since his debut album "Pause, And Think Again". These recordings represent the finest moments of British jazz in the 1970s, serving as a documentary of that era's musical excellence.
