Merely treading (or in this case stomping) through the stylistic domains of Tribal Tech, Allan Holdsworth, The Chick Corea Elektric Band and the like means stepping into the quicksand of comparison to such behemoths of the genre, so one ...

by Chris M. Slawecki
European progressive jazz-rock ensemble Soft Machine seems to have run through more lives than even the luckiest tomcat.

George Garzone: Sax In The City
