Vocalion proudly presents the first ever release of guitar genius Amancio D'Silva's 1974 album Konkan Dance. Goan-born D'Silva came to the UK in 1967 and recorded five albums for EMI's legendary 'Lansdowne' jazz series, under the aegis of producer Denis Preston. However, the last of these and arguably the best Konkan Dance was for unknown reasons never released. Its exclusive licensing on CD to Vocalion by the Amancio D'Silva Estate enables the world to hear some of the most beguiling examples of D'Silva's blend of jazz, rock and Indian music in pieces such as What Maria Sees, A Street in Bombay and A Song for Francesca. On these sessions Amancio is accompanied by an all-star line-up including Stan Tracey, Don Rendell, Alan Branscombe and Clem Alford.
