Recorded in London in 1966 and released on the legendary ESP-Disk' label, Local Colour by the Peter Lemer Quintet is a landmark of British jazz that showcases an extraordinary ensemble at the height of their powers. The album features a remarkable lineup that includes saxophonists John Surman and Nisar Ahmad Khan, bassist Tony Reeves, and drummer Jon Hiseman, all anchored by Peter Lemer's brilliantly expressive piano work.
The music on Local Colour moves fluidly between moments of tranquility and explosive energy, drawing on post-bop and free jazz influences with a distinctly British voice. From a loose, freewheeling take on Carla Bley's "Ictus" to a sizzling rendition of John Coltrane's "Impressions," the quintet demonstrates remarkable cohesion and inventiveness throughout, with Surman's mercurial saxophone work and Hiseman's dynamic drumming providing constant momentum alongside Lemer's richly voiced piano passages.
