Regarding EU orders, CDjapan offers the option the import taxes either to be charged at paid by the buyer at check out, or *not* to be charged at check out (and in this case the package will/may be subject to customs clearance). I always choose the latter and shipping with the Japanese Postal services, because in this way the customs clearance and delivery will be done by the Greek postal services, while DHL/UPS et al. charge crazy handling fees on top of the legal import tax. Wouldn't this work with shipments to USA as well?

https://jazzinbritain1.bandcamp.com/album/impressions-of-new-york?cart_redirected=1 I just bought it, and have listened to the first two tracks. A great band. Wonderful compositions, sound, arrangements and performance. "The flyer for the October 1980 Camden Jazz Week announced a first commission for Geoff Castle, describing him as one of Britain’s most talented keyboard players. It went on… “Geoff, like many of his contemporaries, was first involved in the jazz scene as a member of the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and subsequently through Graham Collier Music. He is currently a member of Nucleus, leads his own group, Strange Fruit, and occasionally surfaces with Paz and the Morrissey/Mullen Band, and with the Musicians Union’s travelling jazz/rock workshop team. It is, however, Geoff's individual ability as a leader/composer that is featured here: he has, in the past, contributed material to both Strange Fruit and Nucleus, and, indeed, performed solo. Impressions of New York, inspired by a recent visit to that city, is his first larger-scale work, and will traverse both acoustic and electric areas of jazz - the ten-piece group includes tuned and LA percussion and synthesisers alongside an impressive line-up of soloists. Impressions of New York has been commissioned by the Jazz Centre Society for the Camden Jazz Week with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain.” The Impressions of New York suite was performed by a Geoff Castle ten-piece group called Geoff Castle’s Impressions Orchestra, either in full or in part, on four occasions between 1980 and 1983. Three of those concerts are included on this release. Although it was never recorded for album release, we believe Geoff did plan this. It definitely should have been and so Jazz In Britain is claiming this as another ‘lost album’ discovery.

Thank you.

You are welcome. Which is the other BN recording of it? I love this tune. It was also covered my Bloomfield at his Columbia LP. Burrell plays as expected. I am listening to it right now.... the piano is so much out of tune...not just slightly.
