Soft Machine Legacy

Live in Zaandam Soft Machine Legacy

Soft Machine is a legend of rock music, a band who included Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, Andy Summers (from the Police), Hugh Hopper, Daevid Allen, Elton Dean, among others, and even, briefly Jimi Hendrix. Since it's creation in 1966, this band created progressive rock, led the 'Canterbury' trend, influenced generations of musicians. It sometimes offers US tours and live albums, like this one, recorded in May 2005 in Holland. The line-up is Elton Dean (sax, piano), John Etheridge (guitar), Hugh Hopper (bass) and John Marshall (drums) all of them having played with Soft Machine in the seventies. Six splendid instrumental tracks, for an intense and sincere jazz fusion: an event!
