Excerpt from the booklet:
... This man is an originator, (...) a pianist with wings. A
better term was given to him by his daughter Inca - MUJICIAN.
KEITH GRAHAME TIPPETT was brought up in Southmead, a suburban
community of red brick housing to the north of Bristol in the
West of England. 1967 became the pivotal year. Aged twenty and
already a pianist with something to say, he was awarded a
scholarship to the Barry Summer School Jazz Course in Wales. It
changed everything. He met Elton Dean, Nick Evans and Marc
Charig who were to play a crucial role in helping to shape
TIPPETT┤s music.
Within three years the 50 piece orchestra Centipede had been
formed and took to the road with the massive work Septober
Energy(RCA). Other large ensemble pieces have followed over the
years. In 1978 KEITH TIPPETTs Ark, consisting of 22 members,
structured as a series of doubles, produced (à) Frames (Ogun).
The 90s have seen his crucial involvement with the Dedication
Orchestra honouring both the birth of a new Sout Africa and
Blue Notes, exiled at the height of apartheid. In 1997 KEITH
TIPPETT formed Tapestry, another large orchestra.
The three MUJICIANS recorded for FMP (FMP CD 012, 095)
represent an oeuvre that has begun to increase to the point
where KEITH TIPPETT s discography now includes solo recordings
from Germany, England, Canada and Japan.
The re-releasing of the two original MUJICIANS is important.
They document part of the start of KEITH TIPPETT as the solo
orchestra, or as he describes it elsewhere, "the unlonely
raindancer". Ideally the three MUJICIANS should be heard as one
thematic work.
Fear of flying? I don t think so.
