Keith Tippett Octet - From Granite To Wind

The continuous performance 'From Granite To Wind', is an evolving flux of different forms and colours, re-interpreting elements of the great jazz tradition through Tippett's idiosyncratic musical language. This is a welcome addition, a new jazz suite by the internationally acclaimed composer, arranger, and improviser.
