about

"There is endless jubilation and good vibes going on here that make me and hopefully you smile when we listen to this treasure once and for all time." – Bruce Lee Gallanter, DMG NYC

"The title track, whooping with the clamour of 60s South African townships, is the highlight of an exultantly conversational set inscribed with a multitude of post-Coltrane jazz stories." - John Fordham, GUARDIAN

For his third Discus Music, Dunmall has brought together an absolutely incredible group of musicians. Four punchy compositions and one group improvisation allow everyone maximum space for expression and exciting interaction.

Recording session sponsor Tony Dudley-Evans writes: “The music was magnificent, full of energy and the name of the session, Bright Light A Joyous Celebration, captures the atmosphere of the occasion….. Each track was recorded in one take. Each saxophonist contributed amazing solos, but this was essentially an interactive group performance driven by Hamid's drums, Dave's bass and Corey's brilliantly judged contributions on the vibes.”

The fact that Dunmall is able to bring such a group together for a session like this, where every musician is a bandleader / significant figure in their own right, is a perfect demonstration of the regard in which he is held.

Look at the playing musicians and consider when the music was played (1972). It was an historic get together. Luckily the music was as wonderful as expected. Ulrich Jonas
