This magical box set features a unique collaboration of some of the UK's finest modern jazz musicians, including the likes of pianist Stan Tracey and saxophonist Bobby Wellins, together with poets Pete Brown and Michael Horovitz. It features a live recording at Southampton University Campus of post-bop jazz, poetry, jazz poems and solo and exchange sound-poetry, as well as performances of the most ambitious work the Septet developed, Brown and Horovitz's "Blues For The Hitchhiking Dead." The events of that night were captured on a real-to-reel tape by the artist's friend Victor Schonfield. The double 180gm vinyl individually numbered box set contains a deluxe full size booklet containing photos, reminiscences, essays and memorabilia.
