Understated at points, wild Ian Carr rocking jams the next, lush theatre the next and with the odd pastoral Brit jazz bop.

It’s also an important junction point in the careers of the Ardley, Carr and Rendell, showing three distinct pathways that British jazz would follow in the subsequent years: Ardley’s orchestrated and expanded explorations; Carr’s jazz rock, and Rendell’s more orthodox acoustic approach.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Neil Ardley, Ian Carr, Don Rendell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52953004212518,"sku":"8808400","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/7734\/2621\/files\/IMG_1414.jpg?v=1775136021","url":"https:\/\/www.limitedadditionrecords.com\/products\/greek-variations-other-aegean-exercises-vinyl-lp","provider":"Limited Addition Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
