Product Description
CD Description
If William Burroughs wrote a script for Sergio Leone, starring the Marx Brothers, Home Of The Brave would provide the music. Led by inimitable multi-instrumentalist Richard Ormrod (founder member of the LIMA orchestra) and featuring worldrenowned free improv drummer Paul Hession (Hession/ Wilkinson/Fell) - Home Of The Brave is not your usual jazz quartet. Ormod and Hession are joined by bassist Rus Pearson and guitarist Jonny Flockton on this live album recording for Jellymould Jazz. Inspired by a life-long love of the cowboy fi lm Ormrod and Hession celebrate the Western soundtracks of Bernstein, Morricone, Tiomkin et al and take a sideways look at the Wild West with arrangements of some of the most well known Western theme tunes. From The Big Country to Laramie, How the West Was Won to The Magnifi cent 7, HOTB takes these themes from the 50 s and 60 s down a hot dusty road and brushes them off with a healthy mix of post-bop jazz, grinding blues grooves and free improvisation.

Great debut from an adventurous band,

This review is from: Do Easy - Home Of The Brave (Audio CD)
Stumbled upon this while reading about the Leeds Jazz scene. Took a chance and found it is excellent.Very fine playing on what is essentially a live album. Excellent ensemble work with all the individuals shining throughout. But what makes this a treat is the use of great tunes from westerns as a sturdy spine to the improvised playing. These tunes are so strong, so well known, even when reduced to snippets and riffs their familiarity catches the attention and draws you back to the overall theme. If I have one small doubt it is the couple of tracks using sample dialogue from the films. Much fun is had but, like many a joke, it really only stands the one listening. That said there ain't much of it and the CD is long, allowing 90% of its contents to be just damn fine music. I see there is a related band called A Dread Supreme doing dub versions of Coltrane favourites. Now that I just got to hear. Shame I live so far from Leeds.
