EASTERN HORIZONS by THE CHARLIE MUNRO QUARTET

Widely considered to be one of Australia's most important modern sessions, Eastern Horizons is an album of extraordinary force. A pioneering exploration of Eastern-influenced modern Jazz. Not only regarded as a vital contribution to Australian Jazz but also as a revolutionary world standard example of Eastern Infused improvisation, following in the footsteps of early 60’s Coltrane and the work of Ornette Coleman. Formed from the ashes of the Bryce Rohde Quartet, Saxophonist and Cellist, Charlie Munro and Drummer/Percussionist, Mark Bowden continued to explore the Lydian Mode with their new Quartet. Enlisting young players Neville Whitehead on Bass (Future Neil Ardley and Ian Carr) and top Sydney session Trombonist Bob McIvor (Sven Libaek), they together delved deep into modern jazz exploration.
