His compositions and recordings have influenced many musicians over the decades.

His collaborators and band members in the past included the Jamaican-born, British-based pioneering free-form saxophonist and composer Joe Harriott, Vincentian jazz musician and poet Shake Keane, jazz-free-thinker and Nucleus founder Ian Carr, jazz modernist Don Rendell, and the much-celebrated queen of \"Jazz Britannia” — vocalist and lyricist Norma Winstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 x 12” 180g black vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 single sleeve + 1 gatefold sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual outer sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack poly-lined inner sleeves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20-page booklet (LP size)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift-off lid box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShrink-wrap + front sticker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Michael Garrick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51480992284836,"sku":"5501163","price":128.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/6453\/4436\/files\/VOYAGES_-_The_Argo_Studio_Albums_Vol._I_28with_Norma_Winstone_29.png?v=1789552503","url":"https:\/\/ukstore.everythingjazz.com\/products\/voyages-the-argo-studio-albums-vol-i-with-norma-winstone-vinyl-4lp-box-set","provider":"Everything Jazz UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
