Callier's writing is getting better, his performances are even more intense. His best may be yet to come --The Guardian
About the Artist
Terry Callier is an American Jazz, Soul and Folk guitarist singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Callier, a childhood friend of Curtis Mayfield, began recording in 1963 but never reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1983, he gained custody of his 12-year-old daughter and decided to retire from music to look for a steadier income. He took classes in computer programming and landed a job at the University of Chicago in 1984. He re-emerged from obscurity when British DJs discovered his old recordings and began to play his songs in clubs in the early 1990s. Acid Jazz Records head Eddie Pillar brought Callier to play clubs in Britain beginning in 1991 and he began to make regular trips to play gigs during his vacation time from work. In the late 90 s Callier began his comeback to recorded music, contributing to Beth Orton s Best Bit EP in 1997 and releasing the album Timepeace in 1998, which won the United Nations Time For Peace award for outstanding artistic achievement contributing to world peace. Curiously, his colleagues at the University of Chicago never learned of Callier s life as a musician, but after the award the news his secret life as a musician became widely known and subsequently lead to his firing Callier today is continuing his recording career having currently released five albums since Timepeace, four of which are on Mr Bongo Records, and has recently recorded with Massive Attack, on a track that reached number 15 in the charts This is the first of two new albums coming out this year on Mr Bongo, the second being Hidden Conversations
