    Saxophonist/composer Kevin Figes and his group You Are Here present this homage to two inspirational British jazz musicians - Keith Tippett and Elton Dean - with newly minted recordings of a classic track from each, pressed on a limited edition 7".

    Made up of the finest players on the Bristol jazz scene, the band includes irrepressible drummer Tony Orrell (Paul Dunmall), Nostalgia 77 bassist Riaan Vosloo and Get the Blessing trumpeter Pete Judge.

    They have added the music of Figes' former teacher - and Soft Machine member - saxophonist/ composer Elton Dean (1945-2006) to their repertoire and perform his groovy Township-jazz invoking composition "Seven for Lee", which sees Figes' soprano saxophone soaring over the loose-yet-funky rhythm section. The fip side takes you on cosmic jazz-rock journey through Tippett's wonderful "Green and Orange Night Park", with slow- building piano, percussion and horns gradually morphing into the mesmeric theme. The unhurried tempo helps to reveal the detail of the composition with Kevin's alto solo a stunning highlight.

    Limited one-off pressing of 466 copies worldwide.
