Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of a newly re-mastered 6CD clamshell boxed set anthology featuring all the recordings released by Vertigo Records by the legendary jazz-rock group Nucleus and their founder Ian Carr. "Torrid Zone - The Vertigo Recordings 1970 - 1975" features every track from the highly celebrated albums "Elastic Rock", "We'll Talk About It Later", "Solar Plexus", "Belladonna", "Labyrinth", "Roots", "Under The Sun", "Snakehips Etcetera" & "Alleycat", all newly re-mastered from the original Vertigo master tapes. The trumpeter and flugelhorn player Ian Carr was one of the most respected musicians of his era, a true pioneer who saw the potential in fusing the worlds of jazz with some of rock music's sensibilities. Tiring of the current forms in British jazz, Carr formed Nucleus in 1969, around the same time as Tony Williams was pursuing new paths with his band Lifetime and Miles Davis was experimenting on the album In a Silent Way. With saxophonist and keyboard player Karl Jenkins, drummer John Marshall, saxophonist Brian Smith, bassist Jeff Clyne and guitarist Chris Spedding, the first line-up of Nucleus signed to Vertigo records in late 1969 and recorded the ground-breaking album "Elastic Rock" in January 1970. The original album liner note stated the aims of the band thus; 'Nucleus is just what the word implies - a small, tightly knit group of musicians. We're all closely involved with each other musically, and some of us have played together in different contexts before, but this is the first time we've met to try and realise our common musical ideals. We see music as a continuous process and have tried to express this on the album. We mean continuous not simply in the physical sense of non-stop sets, but in the general sense that we don't recognise rigid boundaries, but try to use our total musical experience, whatever it may be'. This re-mastered 6 CD clamshell box set celebrates the vision and genius of Ian Carr and all the musicians associated with Nucleus During the period the band recorded it's most influential work. "Torrid Zone" features an illustrated booklet with an essay by writer Sid Smith and is a fine tribute an innovative force in British jazz.

Great jeans for this price!
I was hesitant to buy jeans on Amazon but I thought I'd give these a try since I've had trouble finding a boot cut jeans that I liked. I ordered my true size 29" waist, size 8 regular length and they fit true to size for me. I'm 5'3" so I have to wear about a 1" heel, which I like for a boot cut. They have a decent amount of stretch (but not too much) so they are very comfortable. Wearing these with heels makes my legs look nice and long so they are really flattering. Mine are dark blue rinse and I'm going to buy another pair in black because I like these so much! Good job, Amazon

Polyester in the jeans
I did not take a photo in these jeans because I did not intend to keep them, however, they do fit very well. They are true to size and great for tall women. However, the reason why I removed two stars and the reason why I did not keep them is the fabric content. There is a new development in denim these days where brands are changing the fiber content of denim to create a more inexpensive fabric. I do not agree with this and will not keep a pair of jeans that have polyester in them. Jeans have always been 100% cotton since the beginning of time. Now we have added spandex to them so that they stretch a little bit, which is great. So, your jeans should all be 98% cotton with 2% spandex, if they have spandex in them. If not, they should be 100% cotton. If you find a pair of jeans and look at the fiber content, and they have added in polyester, run. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I live in a very warm climate in South Florida. I cannot and will not wear jeans that have polyester in them. It makes them itchy, scratchy, and hot. I could tell immediately when I tried these on that they had polyester in them, and I immediately took them off and put them back in the bag for the return pile. I highly suggest that Amazon rework the fiber content on these jeans and charge just a little bit more because I’d rather pay five more dollars and have the jeans with no polyester in them. Aside from that, they are great jeans, but they are a little bit stiff. I don’t know what they would be like after one wash because I did not keep them.

Short rise
Even for a petite woman, the rise is very short

Very comfortable and stylish
So difficult to find a pair of well fitting jeans that are comfortable and look good. Stretchy in all the right places. Waistband comfortable with a good fit. Length is exactly what I was looking for, not too short and not too long. Bought two additional pairs.

I will try another size
Size: 20 Long, Color: Tinted Ice Light Wash
My overall opinion of these jeans are that I like them. I got them in long length and the length is great. I am 6’1 and mostly legs and they are perfect ….but I do feel they run large ….I ordered them in my typical size and they were too big so I sized down they seemed like they were gonna be good ( I did still want a looser fit ) but because they do have some stretch not long after putting them on they are so loose I could pull them down without unbuttoning. I wish I would have tried going down at least two sizes.
