John Lambert : Portrait



This introduction to Lambert's music demonstrates his highly personal and quirky style combined a strong sense of theatre and a shrewd awareness of timing with craftmanship and elements of improvisation.

"There's some remarkable music here... Thanks to NMC's pioneering efforts, much little-known music of this quality has been rescued from serious neglect."
The Wire 1995
