Elton Dean, Steve Miller & Pip Pyle - Home Brewed (2022)

Elton Dean - saxes
Steve Miller - piano
Pip Pyle - drums & percussion

Recorded in Sawbridgeworth, Hertfordshire, UK, December 1976. Private session. Previously unheard. Available in digital format and limited edition CD.

The amazing lost Dean, Miller, Pyle private tapes from 1976: featuring the very first recorded meeting of these three extraordinary pioneering talents of British Jazz/Rock, performing four magical co-composed pieces, none of which have ever been issued in any form.

This album was originally intended to be released by Mike King's highly regarded Reel Recordings label. Sadly, Mike passed away before the project was completed and consequently the session has instead sat on a shelf of the esteemed British jazz collector and historian Philippe Renaud for the past decade. UNTIL NOW.

Album includes extensive notes by Philippe and renowned Canterbury music expert Aymeric Leroy.

Original mastering by Mike King. additional mastering by Matt Parker.

Very special thanks to: Marino Dean, Philippe Renaud, Aymeric Leroy, Riccardo Bergerone.


Produced by Matt Parker for British Progressive Jazz in association with Improjazz.


Dedicated to the memory of Mike King.
