about

Italian label Mellow/HTD recorded a Caravan of Dreams concert given as a quartet in Genova on March 26, 1993 under the title "An Evening Of Magic."
richardsinclairsongs.bandcamp.com/album/an-evening-of-magic

This one is the concert given the previous evening, with exactly the same program (except for 'Nine Feet Underground') but performed as a trio, without Dave Sinclair.

A generous performance by Andy Ward, suffering from a broken toe that night (and the next).

This is a "recording of indeterminate origin," i.e. a bootleg. If you buy it from me it'll be the first time anyone in the band has seen a quid from it.

about

Richard Sinclair Martina Franca, Italy

The leading voice of the Canterbury Scene. Beginning with the Wilde Flowers, on to Caravan, Hatfield & the North, Camel and all his recent group efforts, Richard Sinclair's singing and bass playing have been a constant source of delight for lovers of Canterbury music. A deep, low voice, a talent for memorable melodies few can match, plus an imaginative and fluid technique on the bass and guitar. ... more

Holdsworth is up there with McLauglin in the jazzrock-fusion pantheon. And like McLaughlin he seems to have had an open mind for eastern spiritual music. This is quite beautiful. Check it out. Robert Bloemkolk
