2006 repressing of this 1996 album. First US release to feature English jazz saxophone legend (Soft Machine, Keith Tippet Group, etc.) as a group leader, as well as the debut of his new quintet: Paul Dunmall (reeds), Paul Rogers (b), Tony Levin (perc.), Sophia Domancich (p). "These five gifted players intersperse arranged compositions with free-blowing passages, evoking moods that range from swinging to explosive."

Catalog #:
RUNE 103CD
"A reissue of Dean's first solo album, originally released in 1971 and out of print for 25 years. The album's name comes from that of the side-band -- Just Us -- that Elton led during his tenure with Soft Machine and for the year following his departure. The band featured some of the best known names of 'Brit-jazz' of the early 70's (Moholo, Ratledge, Evans, etc.). In addition to the original album, this reissue adds 25 minutes of previously unreleased material. The music is a cross between the free sound Dean would later focus on and the more composed music typical of his work with Soft Machine. The bonus tracks were recorded during Just Us' final year, and show the direction the band took after Dean left Soft Machine."

Title:
Moorsong
Label:
CUNEIFORM
Format:
CD
Price:
$15.00
Catalog #:
RUNE 143CD
"
Moorsong
shows Dean entirely at home with an impressive range of jazz settings and styles. The CD begins with a swinging, Hammond Organ-driven session that may be seen as a nod to Medeski, Martin & Wood. The latter part of
Moorsong
features spacier, more atmospheric sets, with the music more based on moods and drones.
Moorsong
shows Dean in top form throughout, exploring the varied topography of British jazz via sax. It should appeal to afficionados of jazz, fusion and free music alike."
