Chris McGregor’ Brotherhood of Breath – Chris McGregor’s Brotherhood of Breath Neon NE 2 (1971)

---

Feels like Sun Ra-lite.  A blend of somewhat mainstream jazz with more abstract ethno-grooves and a rock-tinged beat.  “Night Poem” is the centerpiece of the album, where they take the basic concept the furtherest.  The album can be a bit uneven though because of the overly mannered playing (the bane of so much British music — to the extent you can call this “British”).
