about

A long-out-of-print slice of solo Chris McGregor gets a CD repress!!
International release date: 24 Feb 2023

"This music is dedicated to the ONE who brings all things to be in His Good Time."

Recorded in concert at the Palais des Glaces, 37 rue du Faubourg du
Temple, Paris on Friday 18 November 1977 by Ron Barron.
Tracks 1-8 present the first set in its entirety and is a continuous performance; 9-13 are extracts from the second set.
Tracks 4-6 and 9-13 were originally available on LP as OG 521 released in 1979.

“Chris McGregor, who died in 1990 in his adopted homeland of France, rarely recorded solo. Two albums for the French Musica label have long been collectors' items, as has In His Good Time, recorded at a Paris concert in 1977 and first released by Ogun in 1979. The CD version comes with around 40 minutes of additional material and presents the first set of the concert in its entirety, followed by five tunes from the second set. The sound, using the original analogue tapes, is excellent.

McGregor had a thick, rolling piano style, more or less equal parts jazz and traditional black South African music; like township jazz in general, his playing had the emotional intensity of African American gospel
music and touched the same bases. On In His Good Time he plays a mixture of originals and traditional folk tunes, along with Mongezi Feza's "Sonia" and Dudu Pukwana's "The Bride." There is a purity—a
straightforward joy—in McGregor's performances, which communicates itself powerfully. The 54-minute first set is played as a continuum, uninterrupted by opportunities for audience applause, and becomes
pleasingly hypnotic.”
