:::: Additional info
:::: Terry Callier is an American Jazz, Soul and Folk guitarist
:::: singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Callier, a childhood
:::: friend of Curtis Mayfield, began recording in 1963 but never
:::: reached stardom despite a series of regional hits in the 1960s
:::: and 1970s. In 1983, he gained custody of his 12-year-old
:::: daughter and decided to retire from music to look for a steadier
:::: income. He took classes in computer programming and landed a job
:::: at the University of Chicago in 1984.
::::
:::: He re-emerged from obscurity when British DJs discovered his old
:::: recordings and began to play his songs in clubs in the early
:::: 1990s. Acid Jazz Records head Eddie Pillar brought Callier to
:::: play clubs in Britain beginning in 1991 and he began to make
:::: regular trips to play gigs during his vacation time from work.
::::
:::: In the late 90's Callier began his comeback to recorded music,
:::: contributing to Beth Orton's Best Bit EP in 1997 and releasing
:::: the album Timepeace in 1998, which won the United Nations' Time
:::: For Peace award for outstanding artistic achievement
:::: contributing to world peace. Curiously, his colleagues at the
:::: University of Chicago never learned of Callier's life as a
:::: musician, but after the award the news his secret life as a
:::: musician became widely known and subsequently lead to his
:::: firing!
::::
:::: It is impossible to recreate Terry's live performances, this is
:::: as close as it gets however. Recorded live at The Jazz Cafe,
:::: Camden in 2001 this album features some of Terry's most
:::: treasured tracks...
