"Belladonna" is an album by English jazz musician [[Ian Carr]].


A lot of talented musicians passed through Ian Carr’s band, also known as Nucleus. Allan plays rhythm thorughout, but notably plays a blistering solo on the track Hector’s House. His style is recognizable, but still raw. The music is “proto-fusion”, and the band lineup includes Gordon Beck and Roy Babbington. Produced by Jon Hiseman.
