Instrumental Magic.......2003-12-16
I actually had one of the first vinyls handed to me by the Charisma label stalwarts in Soho's Nellie Dean pub as Bert scrawled his moniker across the artistic cover in return for a Newcastle Brown.
It went round the world with me for 15 years, finally finding a good home in a Hong Kong fishing village with the most literate karateka it's been my nervous pleasure to befriend.
Highly unusual Bert, this is, and at the same time utterly typical - up there with his best works around the inspired 'Nicola' period. No leathery vocals this time, just exquisite guitar (and some tasteful tinkling of the ivories, no less), Martin Jenkins' fiddle and the incomparable Danny Thompson on bass.
Colin Harper's sleevenotes are among the best I've read and the feast of photos and Janschiana complete the feast.
Six tracks: Avocet, Lapwing, Bittern, Kingfisher, Osprey, and Kittiwake (a cliff-nesting gull).
No more convincing courtesy can there be than for me to keep the review blatherings short and simply hail this as a crucial piece in the Jansch jigsaw puzzle. Buy it.
