Keith Tippett
Born:
For over thirty years Keith Tippett has been at the forefront of contemporary European jazz and new music. In the late 1960s, Tippett led a sextet featuring Elton Dean on saxophone, Mark Charig on trumpet and Nick Evans on trombone. Tippett married singer Julie Driscoll and wrote scores for TV. In the early 1970s, his big band Centipede brought together much of a generation of young British jazz and rock musicians.

He formed, with Harry Miller and Louis Moholo a formidable rhythm section at the centre of some of the most exciting combinations in the country, including the Elton Dean quartet, and Elton Dean's Ninesense

Keith Tippett: The Unlonely Raindancer
by Matt Parker
Some people find that solo piano albums, no matter how highly regarded they may be, struggle to hold their attention for a full listen.

However, nothing could be further from the truth regarding the extraordinary performances of Keith Tippett documented in ...
King Crimson: Live in Newcastle, December 8, 1972

This, the 48th in the veteran group's King Crimson Collector's Club series of archival ...

Leonardo Pavkovic: Nothing is Ordinary
by Chris M. Slawecki
More than any other person, Leonardo Pavkovic has made me write some crazy shit. Pavkovic is the primal force behind the joyously eclectic MoonJune Records, which he established in 2001. “Established" may not be the right word: “I am truly an unusual and rules breaking call-it-record-company with a 'label' identity despite the fact that ...
