Impromptu has it. The band consists of Paul Cheneour, David Hardington, Phil Scragg and Peter Locket from London, with keyboards, flute, bass, tabla and general percussion. Their music has an immediate live, exciting quality that draws the listener right in. This comes about as they really do what their name says— improvise as they go along. Fascinating, rich music with a sound that grows the more you listen. Highly recom- mended.
