Ozone

Noel Kelehan was a dear friend and colleague whose passing in February 2012 was deeply regretted by all in Irish jazz. We welcome here the re-release of OZONE, one of Noel's great achievements. Back in the 60s Noel had formed The Jazz Heralds, a quintet influenced by Miles Davis, Horace Silver and The Jazz Messengers. The Heralds included Rock Fox (tpt.) and Jim Farley (a.sax), here replaced by Mike Nolan and Keith Donald. OZONE features three Kelehan originals - Spacer's Delight, I Only Have Time To Say I Love You, and Triers Not Fliers, as well as a sublime reworking of the traditional air The Castle Of Dromore.
