- Synopsis:
This is an exceptional piece of music, an historic recording. And here, in the live atmosphere, Harmos unfolds in an entirely different way from in the studio. Some of the founding fathers of European improvised music extol the union of the generations together with younger colleagues in celebration of the moment. A great anthem. Barry Guy's Harmos resembles a musical manifesto - a work which sets structure and freedom in a dialectic field of tension and commits itself to one of the fundamental characteristics of music: melody.
