How is it that the 1969 album "Off Centre" is considered one of the most sought-after British jazz albums and only changes hands for large sums of money, even though frontman John Cameron is not a well-known jazz musician? It's simple: Cameron is one of the most successful and versatile British studio artists, has arranged hits for pop stars such as Donovan, Cilla Black and Hot Chocolate and composed music for well-known films and TV series. Deep down, however, Cameron must be a jazz musician, as demonstrated by his quartet album as a pianist together with bassist Danny Thompson (Nick Drake, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel), saxophonist and flautist Harold McNair (Quincy Jones, Blossom Dearie, Ginger Baker) and drummer Tony Carr (Bryan Ferry, Joan Armatrading, Wings). The dynamically swinging and grooving album is now receiving its first vinyl re-release, remastered at Abbey Road Studios from the original analog tapes. A large-format insert presents a detailed new interview with John Cameron.
