Mama Africa
by Chris M. Slawecki
If you wanted to travel to--oh, let's just say--Tanzania and then from Tanzania to India, then to Puerto Rico, to England, then Spain, to Peru, then to South Africa, to personally experience their musical varieties both garden and exotic, you could do it by cashing in, with rounding, about 28,690 frequent flier miles. Or ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by Chris M. Slawecki
Many have found elements of jazz in the music of European progressive rock artists such as Gong, Can, King Crimson and even, to a certain improvisational extent, Yes. Soft Machine Legacy continues this...umm, legacy with an amoeba-like lineup (mostly) from alumni of the original progressive instrumental group Soft Machine: guitarist John Etheridge, bassist Roy Babbington and ...
Theo Travis: All I Know: An Anthology
by John Kelman
He's been on the scene for twenty years, but it's only been in the past few that Theo Travis has risen to prominence beyond the expanding group of musicians who call him up when they need a saxophonist/flautist with jazz chops but a rock sensibility--and an appreciation of the organic marriage of technology with acoustic instruments ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by AAJ Italy Staff
Con la recente dipartita di Hugh Hopper il gruppo Soft Machine Legacy ha perso il suo ultimo legame diretto con la formazione classica dei Soft Machine che immancabilmente siamo portati ad associare all'album Third, uno dei capolavori della musica giovane di ogni tempo.

Goldbug: The Seven Dreams

Le sette composizioni sono ...

Tim Motzer / Markus Reuter: Descending
by Sid Smith
Sometimes, with albums built from file-shared overdubs, the sum of the parts can be greater than the whole. Happily the reverse is very much the case with this engaging collaboration between guitarists Tim Motzer and Markus Reuter. The core of this elegantly dreamy music was recorded at a concert given by the duo ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by Nic Jones
With Hugh Hopper's death in 2009, Soft Machine Legacy lost its last link with the classic Soft Machine lineups that recorded its most potent music. What is here, then, is a band which pledges allegiance to the relatively straightforward fusion period of the band's history. Once that's clarified, however, it's still a fact ...
Soft Machine Legacy: Live Adventures
by Mark Redlefsen
The unique jazz-rock of Soft Machine Legacy moves into a new decade with Live Adventures (Moonjune, 2010), along with yet another new lineup, recorded live shortly after the 2009 passing of bassist Hugh Hopper. No matter how much change in personnel occurs, a very identifiable and distinct sound is maintained all around. The balance in this ...
