Featuring original footage, exclusive interviews and tracks dedicated to Kurt, this director's cut DVD music documentry is a moving tribute to Kurt the man and his music from those who were inspired by his extraordinary genius. Bringing together his peers, his friends, those close to the band and not forgetting the loyal fans who keep his memory alive.Nirvana exploded onto a music scene that had no mind, no depth and no substance. A young audience, sick to the teeth of formula pop and sugar-coated, safe rock, was quickly seduced by the dark and dangerous charisma of this loud, angry band, hailing from 'nowhere' USA.
"If you love great jazz guitar playing and great ensembles, this is a must have. It's melodic, it swings and the energy is strong throughout. The players here combine thier talents beautifully. Play it and understand what Nirvana in the world of music truely means".
Reissue with the latest 2014 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. Nirvana is lovely work from Charles Lloyd – recorded at the point when he was just pushing off from Chico Hamilton's group, and before he got too noodly for his own good! Side one of the record features Lloyd with his own group – jazzing it up in a mix of flute, guitar, and percussion on a number of short tracks that have a light and breezy feel. There's a nice dose of bossa in the set, plus some of the other freer rhythmic styles that Lloyd and Hamilton experimented with together at the time – but all of the tracks have a strong rhythmic pulse, and never lose their groove for too much experimentation. Side two features two wonderful tracks with Hamilton's group at a point when Lloyd was still working with the ensemble – both long tracks with a modal pulse and a great deal of spirituality – again free, but never too much so! A nice little album – with tracks that include "Island Blues", "Carcara", "Long Time Baby", "One For Joan", and "Freedom Traveler".
The first 2 albums from the UK's psychedelic trailblazers Nirvana reissued together in a 2CD package, featuring 52 tracks with 27 previously unreleased outtakes, demos and alternative versions. This is an essential package for fans of 60s psych with a 5000 word sleeve-note from Total Rock's Malcolm Dome.
Issued in a thick glossy paper sleeve with an OBI-strip, a numbered flyer, three postcards and one A4 paper detailing track information.
