Kelehan, Noel -quintet-
Ozone
This essential Irish jazz album finally gets a vinyl reissue on Outernational Sounds! Fully licensed from producer John D'Ardis, remastered at Abbey Road from the original tapes, and with lacquers cut at Dubplates and Mastering, the Noel Kelehan Quintet's stunning 1979 album 'Ozone' is presented with unseen photographs of the band and commentary from original band members. Featuring moody, modal jazz of the first order, subtle and original composing and world-class playing, 'Ozone' was the creation of Ireland's most respected jazz composer and musician, pianist Noel Kelehan (1935-2012). The only small-group album under his name, and arguably the first ever Irish jazz LP, 'Ozone' was a landmark recording.
