Comment
March 1969 at a disused lino factory in Staines, England. The unlikely setting for a remarkable two day jamming session which brought together the great names of rock and jazz to improvise together. Amongst others Eric Clapton, Steve Stills, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Buddy Miles, Buddy Guy, Jon Hiseman, The Modern Jazz Quartet, and looming over the whole event the extraordinary playing of Roland Kirk. A youthful Led Zeppelin add a malicious "Dazed and Confused."

This is the end of the sixties. Intense and introverted, concentrated brilliant music, blending blues and rock with hard edged jazz. It was - to use a word which was 'old fashioned' then - funky.

The session begins ironically with Hiseman's "Those Who Are About To Die Salute You." What follows appears to be a seemingly endless night. A powerful, haunting record of one of the last great sixties musical events.
