Produced by Neil Ardley and recorded at London’s famed Morgan Studios, the sessions were engineered and mixed by Martin Levan, capturing one of the most ambitious and beloved works in British jazz. Following the acclaimed reissues of Courtney Pine’s Journey to the Urge Within (AOR-001-ST) and Neil Ardley’s Harmony of the Spheres (AOR-002-ST)—both praised by the audiophile press including The Tracking Angle—this third release confirms Analogue October as one of today’s most meticulous and exciting reissue labels. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCommissioned for the 1975 Camden Jazz Festival, \u003cem\u003eKaleidoscope of Rainbows\u003c\/em\u003e is structured as a seven-part suite, each movement reflecting a colour of the spectrum. Ardley’s composition weaves together jazz improvisation, progressive rock energy, and orchestral elegance in one of the most imaginative British jazz recordings of the era. Featuring Ian Carr, Barbara Thompson, Tony Coe, Trevor Tomkins, and Geoff Castle, the album is a who’s who of the UK’s vibrant 1970s jazz scene. \u003cbr\u003eCut at Abbey Road, Pressed at Record Industry \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor this definitive edition, Analogue October worked directly from the original Gull master tapes. Mastering was entrusted to Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios, using his renowned half-speed process to extract every detail and dynamic from Ardley’s score.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo give the music the headroom it deserves, the reissue has been expanded to a deluxe 2LP set, pressed on the highest-quality vinyl at Record Industry in Haarlem, Netherlands. The result is a presentation that finally does justice to the scope and brilliance of Ardley’s vision. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRIYL Ian Carr \/ Nucleus \/ Weather Report\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analogue October Records","offers":[{"title":"2LP","offer_id":50560988283158,"sku":"RMX-56560","price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/b53760ce19018711549a3f5045f595bc.jpg?v=1759234930","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/ardley-neil-kaleidoscope-of-rainbows-2026-reissue","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
