Elton Dean & The Wrong Object - The Unbelievable Truth '2007 [2014]

Tracks list

Cardboard sleeve reissue. Features SHM-CD format. A sizzling session recorded
live in Paris in October of 2005 (less than four months before Elton Deans
untimely passing), The Unbelievable Truth demonstrates the remarkable breadth of
the late British saxophonists reach. The repertoire highlights the range of his
compositional skills, as well as The Wrong Objects equally-diverse writing and
freewheeling improvisational abilities. From quirky Zappa-esque complexity to
ominous material reminiscent of Deans 1970s tenure with Soft Machine (and even a
hint of swing), The Unbelievable Truth documents how Dean remained a vital
musical force to the very end.

This disc features some fine playing by all, as the group performs some of their
brilliant, quirky originals -- as well as rendering versions of some of Eltons
best-loved tunes.

Included are Elton Deans old signature piece Seven For Lee, the classic Basho
(from what many consider his finest album, 1980s Boundaries), and the more
recent Bakers Treat. This is an incredibly fresh, vibrant performance, and one
of Elton Deans very last.A classic, timeless performance by a true progressive
music legend; a deep communication between some great musicians.

Recorded live in Paris, France at GlazArt, on October 18, 2005. Mastered by
