GARY HUSBAND ~ POSTCARDS FROM THE PAST MOONJUNE 135 (Barcode: 692287913526) ~ UK ~ Jazz Recorded: 1978 - 2023 Released: 2025 This is a 2CD compilation of mostly previously unreleased tracks by the British drummer / keyboardist / guitarist / composer / bandleader and a great bloke, Gary HusbandFind albums by this artist, which presents twenty-three tracks, recorded between 1978 and 2023 with a stellar cast of musicians, which includes guitarist Allan HoldsworthFind albums by this artist, saxophonist Ray WarleighFind albums by this artist, guitarist Steve ToppingFind albums by this artist, bassist Paul CarmichaelFind albums by this artist and numerous others. All the tracks, bar five, were composed by Husband. Beyond the fact that the album presents a great collection of fabulous music, it is a splendid testimony of the multi-talented Husband, who plays all the instruments he touches with incredible precision and obvious virtuosity. Musically, the album moves between Jazz, Jazz-Rock Fusion and some of the earliest tracks offer a touch of Progressive Rock. But regardless of the specific genre in question, the music always sounds spot on, which makes Husband a completely universal musician. Overall, this is a great retrospective journey, which documents Husband’s activities, only partial of course, as he achieved so much over the years. Thanks for sharing with us all these memories, which we can now enjoy, and of course for your sublime music-making over the years!
