The Indo-British Jazz Ensemble (1969)

"In 1969, the imaginative indie record producer, and jazz-lover, Mark Sutton, who owned his own recording studio in Soho, gathered together some of the finest session jazz musicians working in London together with husband and wife, Dev and Sitara Kumar to record a series of what we might today call "fusion". The result was "Curried Jazz". The producers for the sessions were the great Ken Barnes (find out more about him at the excellent Vinyl Vulture site)and Michael Hall .Victor Graham composed,arranged and conducted the pieces."

Isn't that the coolest cover ever !?
