For Bert Jansch: Pascal Froissart “Veronica”

For Around the World in 80 Plays, Pascal chose to play Veronica. “Every time I play it, I can hear the whole rhythmic section of the Pentangle. It shows how much Bert contributed to the Pentangle’s music by providing a structure very close to jazz. It reminds me of John Coltrane’s quartet with McCoy Tyner in the early 60s.”
