MARTYN JOHN BAND - CD THE SMILING STRANGER IN BREMEN

Popis - THE SMILING STRANGER IN BREMEN:
John Martyn was an exceptional guitarist and accomplished singer/songwriter. In his music he combined different styles into a new whole, he was an electrifying guitarist and singer whose music blurred the boundaries between folk, jazz, rock and blues. John Martyn started his career, signing with Island Records in 1973 and charting with his album 'Solid Air', but in 1977 came his breakthrough with 'One World', featuring Steve Winwood and Jamaicans Rico and Lee Perry. This CD has a concert that John Martyn did together with his band featuring Jeff Allen (Snowy White, Van Morrison) on drums and Alan Thomsen (Robert Palmer, Chris Rea, Eric Clapton) on bass, recorded in June 1983 in the venerable Bremen Schauburg.
