Joining pianist John Cameron in the 'good and the great of British Jazz' line-up is bass player Danny Thompson, percussionist Tony Carr, and flute and saxophone player Harold McNair. 'Off Centre' was originally released on Decca's 'alternative' Deram imprint, a home for Psychedelia, Folk, and Prog Rock sounds, that still found time for chart hits by Cat Stevens, The Move, and The Moody Blues. The variety displayed on the seven original tracks on 'Off Centre' sits comfortably with Deram's eclectic style, ranging from passages of improvisational 'Free Jazz' on the title track, to the danceable 'Mod Jazz' grooves of album closer 'Troublemaker'.
