**Previously unreleased recording of bassist/composer Graham Collier’s seminal British
jazz album ‘Down Another Road’ recorded live in 1969 at Stockholm’s Jazz Day festival,
his all-star sextet includes jazz heavyweights Harry Beckett, Stan Sulzmann, Karl
Jenkins and John Marshall.**

Since it’s release in 1969 on Fontana, ‘Down Another Road’ has become a cornerstone
of British jazz, with the LP now a much sought-after rarity that regularly exchanges
hands for over £200. It’s considered the revered composer Collier’s greatest album
by many of its fans, thanks to its highly melodic, almost pop-like themes and irresistible’
60s groove, spurred on by the on-point drumming of Soft Machine/Nucleus drummer 
John Marshall.

To make ‘Down Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days ’69’ even more special, the abstract
track “Danish Blue” has been replaced by the similarly epic free jazz composition“
Burblings for Bob”, which is released here for the first time. All the other tracks
that everyone loves are present and correct – “Lullaby for a Lonely Child”, “Aberdeen
Angus”, “Molewrench” etc. but with a rawer live feel to them, longer arrangements
and more soloing – with the band in scintillating form.

Remastered from the original tapes by Caspar Sutton-Jones @ Gearbox Records, ‘Down
Another Road @ Stockholm Jazz Days ’69’ is available as a limited edition 2LP set
housed in a gatefold sleeve and ‘mini-LP’ gatefold CD, with sleeve notes by Graham
Collier biographer Duncan Heining.
