This NTM (new to me) disc is an absolute masterpiece…
SUNSET GLOW (1975) - JULIE TIPPETTS
Released in 1975, "Sunset Glow" is the second solo album by Julie Tippetts (née Julie Driscoll).
A curious cross between rock, jazz, and folk, with an intimate and unpredictable approach, it emerged after years of experimentation in the avant-garde jazz scene.
It is today considered a genre-bending masterpiece, capable of synthesizing Tippetts's musical experiences in a cohesive and deeply personal way.
The album features some of the key figures of the British jazz scene to which Julie Tippetts belonged: Keith Tippett, Elton Dean, Mark Charig, Louis Moholo, Brian Godding.
The album's closing track, "Behind the Eyes," is a dedication to her friend Robert Wyatt after his serious accident in 1973;
Wyatt himself described Sunset Glow as an ideal companion to his Rock Bottom..
