	Chris McGregor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chris McGregor was born in Somerset West, Western Cape, where his father, Murray McGregor was teaching at Hottentots’ Holland High School.
		In 1962 Chris took a group from Cape Town to the Castle Lager Jazz Festival at Moroka-Jabavu Stadium in Soweto, where the group came second in the small group section.
		With this band Chris was at last able to explore and put into practice the many ideas he had as a result of the many different experiences he had been exposed to.

	- Clicks and Klangs - Chris McGregor, The Blue Notes and Brotherhood Of Breath
		Chris McGregor, Dudu Pukwana and others may have supplied the compositions but the collective force of the musicians always managed to dislocate, stretch and re-build them in the course of a performance.
		Listen to McGregor’s urgent piano, the force of Moholo’s drumming, the collective fire of the horns stating the glorious theme and then their free-blowing.
		Chris McGregor didn’t often push his piano to the fore in the Brotherhood, maybe because the collective force of the band never allowed him to!

	Chris McGregor : Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		An album that fuses the influence of African music, jazz-rock, and free improvisation, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath shares affinities with the '70s music of Don Cherry and Miles Davis.
		Somewhat of a legendary album amongst collectors of British jazz and fusion, the LP was originally released in the '70s and in early 2002 finally became reissued by the Italian label Akarma.
		Chris McGregor led the group on piano and African xylophone with Malcolm Griffiths and Nick Evans on trombones, Mongezi Feza on pocket trumpet and Indian flute, Mark Charig on cornet, Harry Beckett on trumpet, and Dudu Pukwana on alto saxophone.

	* Dusted Reviews - Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath *
		McGregor’s close attention to his compadres covered the gamut from custom-tailored composing to leaving his arrangements flexible enough to foster extemporaneous alterations in direction and approach.
		McGregor serves as chief composer, but pieces by Windo, Pukwana, Feza and Malfatti also crop up in the songbooks of the dates.
		McGregor pilots each performance like a ship's captain self-assured of both his own talents and those of his mates.

		All the rest of tracks were typical length for the genre and very entertaining with a solid foundation.
		McGregor plays the piano and xylophone nimbly and with enough visionary creativity to invite the listener to enjoy their own private show inside the confines of their own mind.

		McGregor will also be among the "cast members" of the various Phantom Menace tie-in books from Ballantine, to include Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace Illustrated Screenplay by George Lucas, The Making of the Phantom Menace, and a novelization by popular fantasy author Terry Brooks.
		Books were the impetus for many of McGregor's earlier films, including Trainspotting, based on the controversial Irvine Welsh novel of the same name, and Jane Austen's Emma, for which McGregor donned period costumes.
		And next up for McGregor is an adaptation of the Marc Behm psycho-thriller, Eye of the Beholder, in which he'll play a private eye stalking a serial killer.

		That is, if his Brotherhood of Breath (BOB) big band, featured on this two-CD set of 1970s performances, didn't add the colorations of Charles Mingus' bigger groups and suggestions of Hank Crawford's arrangements for Ray Charles to its unique mix of modern jazz and South African jive.
		Which is why Capetown's McGregor (1936-1990) and his fl fellow players in the Blue Notes sextet ended up living permanently in Europe after 1964.
		Although McGregor's approach was always pretty basic, tunes like "Now" on CD1, "Union Special" and "Sonia" features the kind of bluesy interchange you would expect to more readily find on Chicago's Southside.

	Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath \| Traveling Somewhere
		The story of pianist Chris McGregor's life and music is like that of many creative South African musicians: a tale of trial and redemption.
		McGregor's group demonstrates considerable restraint during introductions and codas, and when elaborating upon themes.
		And the beauty of it is that McGregor, who nominally led the band and composed half the pieces on the record, seems quite content to play the role of catalyst to the free expression of his giant family of creative musicians.

		?Chris McGregor?s Blue Notes from South Africa played just once, but their urgent, angular, unself-conscious music earned a solid reaction from the opening night crowd.
		The band fluctuated in size from ten to 17 and Chris went out of his way find musicians from many different backgrounds to bring their own particular gifts and insights to the music.
		Over the years from 1971 and especially from 1973 when Chris and his family moved to France the band undertook tours trough Europe playing the festival scene.

		McGregor's big band Brotherhood of Breath enlarged the Blue Notes with free improvisers (Evan Parker, Trevor Watts, Paul Rutherford).

	BROTHERHOOD OF BREATH / CUNEIFORM RECORDS
		South African born and raised pianist/bandleader Chris McGregor formed the racially mixed Blue Notes in the early 1960's, touring and trying to get by in extremely difficult political circumstances as best they could.
		By 1964, facing continous government harassment, Chris and the Blue Notes fled their South African homeland, finally settling in London in 1966.
		Not too long afterwards, Chris formed The Brotherhood Of Breath, which was essentially the Blue Notes, augmented by a large number of the friends that they had made in the British jazz community.

		McGregor was a white South African who had fled apartheid in 1964.
		As was true of Cuneiform's earlier Travelling Somewhere, the recording quality is on a par with Sun Ra's Saturns of the same time, with the leader's piano suffering most—a shame, because even though McGregor was strictly a fundamental soloist, the Brotherhood derived much of their energy from his quirky comping and interjections.
		But McGregor's compositions and those of his sidemen are both intricate and jubilant, the solos—by the South Africans, Osborne, Beckett, and others—are high-stepping, and with the band's two LPs for RCA Neon difficult to find (the second was never even issued here), this will do just fine.
