This 1972 album by the Bob Downes Open Music Trio, Diversions, sees the saxophonist and flautist lead his trio through an exhilarating set of original compositions blending Downes's melodic flair with the sensibilities of free jazz. With bassists Barry Guy and Jeff Clyne and drummer Denis Smith on hand to help bring the music to life, the results are nothing short of stunning.
