Originally released in 1979, Bert Jansch's Avocet stands as one of the most quietly remarkable achievements in acoustic guitar music. Inspired by the birds of the British Isles, the album weaves together fingerpicked guitar, flute, and unexpected jazz harmonics into a collection that feels, as one critic noted, "gloriously timeless" — sounding fresher and more adventurous than much of what surrounds it even decades later.
This limited art print edition, released as part of the Bert Jansch 80 celebration honoring the artist's enduring legacy, pairs a 2023 remaster sourced directly from the original tapes with six high-quality lithograph art prints by UK illustrator Hannah Alice, each representing one of the album's bird-inspired tracks. The remastered audio breathes new life into Jansch's peerless playing, making this an ideal entry point for new listeners and a worthy addition for longtime admirers of his work.
