Elton Dean - Amsterdam 1977

Here's another UK show... why another, well, because the South African jazzers eventually did mix up with the UK scene to some extent, even though in the early years, they weren't welcome.

Anyway, here's Elton Dean, the late great alto and saxello player, with Keith Tippett at the piano and the powerhouse rhythm section of Miller/Moholo.

Thanks a lot to "jazzrita" for sharing this over on dime, some time ago!

Please Note that the info-file and the folder give the date as September 8, which seems to be wrong. I only found out about that just now, doing some searching before posting this. I added a note below with the info given on the Elton Dean chronology for September 1977.

Also, do check the previous post for more related music!
