Michael Garrick Sextet With Don Rendell and Ian Carr - Prelude To Heart Is A Lotus (Full Album)
Prelude to Heart is a Lotus is a 1968 BBC Jazz in Britain recording released for the first time via Gearbox Records. Pianist and composer Michael Garrick was 35 years old and together with close associates - saxophonist Don Rendell and trumpeter Ian Carr - was defining innovative new directions in British jazz. Prelude to Heart is a Lotus is the precursor to the Argo Records Heart is a Lotus studio album which was released two years later, and this remarkable music shines a new light on an extraordinary period of creativity in Garrick’s long career.
