about
This is a stripped down, alternative version of the recording of "If No Enemy". Although the final mix of this piece includes Charles Heyward on drums and Phil Miller on guitar, this softer version allows the beauty of Chrystelle's exquisite flute-work to shine.
lyrics
If there were no enemy in the world
nor devil in hell
that which we carry within us
could be unleashed.
Yet we must conceive to be a double man
One to be denied
The other to deny
One to still what the other has raised ...

I am a big fan of Nucleus and Ian Carr, and nice to find it on the day I caught up with and interviewed Brian Smith, the saxophonist on this and other Nucleus albums. Some of the finest Jazz of this era. JazzLocal32.com John Fenton
