Music reviews of Sarabande
Music Review: Purple Passages, indeed.
Rating: 5 Stars
I found Deep Purple in 1974 at the Lewisham Odeon in London. It was a moment that changed my musical outlook. I saw Jon Lord with Tony Ashton doing the big band thing and when "Windows" came out I readily snapped it up. 30+ years later, it still confuses me.
When "Sarabande" came out, it fair knocked me over. This is a brilliantly realised interpretation of a baroque dance suite, from the genteel "Aria" to the almost dervish-like "Gigue."
For me, everything about this album is understated and that is its strength. It is simple; it is accessible and you don't have to know a darned thing about baroque. It jazzes, it swings, it rocks. It is as far removed from Purple as day is from night and I still listen to it with the same awe and wonder as I did then.
Jon Lord has said that it is his best work. Or he hasn't, depending on what you read. I also keep seeing the word "masterpiece" in other reviews. I can speak for neither of these but I will say that "Sarabande" is among the greatest albums I have. It is a work that reaches true heights; it is a work that endures and I think that that's because, freed from the distractions of Deep Purple, he got it right this time.
"Sarabande" is impeccable.
Oh, and for you music lovers, somewhere around 1977 I saw the "Sarabande" gig at the Albert Hall, complete with deliberate bum notes and Pete York sight-reading a drum solo, supporting David Bedford's "The Odyssey" which featured a very shy and reclusive musical genius by the name of Mike Oldfield on guitar.

Description of Sarabande
On "Sarabande", Jon Lord (of Deep Purple fame) based his material on a set of dance suites, interpreted with a string orchestra and modern rock instrumentation. The guitar was played by Andy Summers, just prior to his joining The Police. This is the first CD release of "Sarabande" and has been remastered from the original masters discovered at Abbey Road. This reissue contains comprehensive liner notes, backed by contemporary reviews, pictures and memorabilia, as well as a discography and is digitally enhanced with all original artwork intact.Jazz CDs
