Piece by Piece

"Piece by Piece" is a rock album by John Martyn released in 1986. Recorded at CaVa Sound Workshops, Glasgow, Scotland. Piece by Piece was the second album recorded by Martyn after his return to Island Records after a seven year absence. The album was mainly the product of a liaison with Foster Patterson who wrote the title track. This was another stab at gaining the commercial success and popular recognition, which had so far escpaed John's grasp. Other musicians included Alan Thomson (bass), Danny Cummings (percussion) and Colin Tully (saxophone). The early cd's of Piece By Piece included four extra tracks: Tight Connection to my Heart, Solid Air, One World and May You Never. This 13-track cd has now been replaced by a standard 9-track version and is hard to find.
