Powerful rock-edged collaboration from the 4 legendary members of the seminal pioneers of jazz-rock, Soft Machine. Featuring the late, great free jazzer Elton Dean on saxophones and Fender Rhodes, innovative, rock solid bassist Hugh Hopper, virtuosic guitarist John Etheridge and intuitive, forceful drummer John Marshall, Soft Machine Legacy’s first studio album rocks harder than any of the Soft Machine’s 1970s albums. Combining new writing, free jams and a fresh look at some old material, Soft Machine Legacy is a hard-hitting album that will not only appeal to fans of the original band, but to anyone who likes their fusion wide open, their jams loose and totally spontaneous, and their jazz combined with potent grooves and fiery energy. Soft Machine Legacy demonstrates that “spirit, not a style, is truly Soft Machine’s greatest legacy.”
