Album Overview

Clear Air Turbulence is a 1977 album by the Ian Gillan Band, exploring jazz-rock and fusion influences beyond Gillan's work with Deep Purple. The record features more complex instrumental arrangements and a smoother, more experimental approach while retaining Gillan's unmistakable voice. It is an important example of his willingness to move outside conventional hard rock during the 1970s. For collectors, the album offers valuable insight into Gillan's solo-era development and his collaboration with musicians from the British jazz-rock scene. This Japanese pressing is a strong addition to a Deep Purple-related collection.
