Gerry F. Fitz-Gerald is a Scottish-born guitarist, possessed with kaleidoscopic imagination and commanding ability for improvisational music conversation. Lol Coxhill is a British legend, internationally recognized for his inimitable soprano saxophone sounds and situational performance art. Gerry's discography rests with his psychedelic rock masterpiece Mouseproof, a contribution for Guitar Solos II album (with Fred Frith, Derek Bailey, Hans Reichel) and Coxhill's Fleas in Custard record, while Lol's catalogue is now a published book. In 1975 the duo resided with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, welcoming unsuspecting audiences for An Evening of Improvised Music and Confused Humor. The concerts were beautifully recorded, and Gerry edited the many hours of music at Tom Newman's barge studio, only to have the resulting programme shelved by Virgin Records. These master tapes present Lol's soprano saxophone and Gerry's electric guitar with great accuracy and presence. This is eccentric music-making, presented as Three Fairy Dances, brimming with buoyancy and painted with cohesive sound colours. Echoes of Duneden invite an intimate experience to the openhearted listener.

'These echo-drenched sessions are fairy like indeed – two airborne spirits intermingling in a state of absolutely free play in the dungeon of obscurity. There are shades of gamelan and even musique concrete in Fitz-Gerald's accompaniments to Coxhill's swallow-like soprano. Really, quite glorious stuff.' David Stubbs ~ Wire magazine
'Here’s a dialog constructive enough to last several lifetimes and this is one of the archive releases of the year!' Nic Jones ~ All About Jazz
