Nucleus: UK Tour '76

Read "UK Tour '76" reviewed by John Kelman


If British jazz/rock progenitor Ian Carr and his Nucleus group had made any kind of splash in the US with early albums like Elastic Rock (Vertigo, 1970), they had become largely forgotten by the mid-1970s. That's unfortunate, because they continued to record and tour in the UK and Europe and, with the exit of keyboardist/reedman/composer Karl ...

Nucleus: Hemispheres

Read "Hemispheres" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


La pubblicazione di questi brani assolutamente inediti dei Nucleus, provenienti da due date europee del 1970 e del 1971, è davvero una delle più belle sorprese discografiche dell’anno. I Nucleus, guidati dal trombettista Ian Carr, sono stati l’equivalente europeo più agguerrito delle band di Miles Davis dell’epoca e hanno battuto con intelligenze le strade del primo ...

Nucleus: Hemispheres

Read "Hemispheres" reviewed by John Kelman


While general interest in Soft Machine continued long after the seminal British jazz/rock group disbanded, the spotlight on trumpeter Ian Carr's Nucleus seemed to go dark following the band's breakup in the early 1980s.

Nucleus: Hemispheres

Read "Hemispheres" reviewed by Roger Farbey


Any release by these British jazz-rock pioneers is a major event. Hemispheres is no exception, and the musical anthropologists at Hux Records have unearthed some genuine hidden treasures from the Palaeolithic Era of fusion. The recording comprises two different European Nucleus sessions, recorded barely a year apart. But from the very beginning, when the short-lived original ...

Nucleus: Live in Bremen 1971

Read "Live in Bremen 1971" reviewed by Andrey Henkin

But the freshness quickly wore off; innovation gave way to derivative technical exercises; and the sales balm was only temporary. But in its nascent stages, creative groups were ...
