Space Walk
Space Walk is an album by British jazz saxophonist Don Rendell, recorded in December 1970 and released on the EMI Columbia label in 1972 as part of their Lansdowne Series. This was Rendell's final recording under the Lansdowne banner before moving to Spotlite Records. "Space Walk" continued Rendell's exploration of modern modal jazz and displayed the enduring influence of John Coltrane on Rendell's composition and playing. Reception. In a reissue review of "Space Walk", "AllAboutJazz" scored the album 3 ½ stars, considering the album's music to be "vigorous and adventurous" but one that fell  outside the prevailing currents of jazz rock and free jazz. In a more sympathetic reappraisal of "Space Walk" as part of a 2021 reissue by Decca Records, "Jazzwise" noted that Rendell bravely deviated from the brass and saxophone orthodoxy of the time by using twin tenor saxophones in the frontline. The composition, "Euroaquillo", was also highlighted as best exemplifying Rendell's "affinity to post-hard-bop-into-middle-period-Coltrane". "Jazzwise" awarded the album 4 stars and the status of "Editor's choice". Track listing. All compositions by Don Rendell except where noted.
