Sleep? No way: the party goes on all night. V is a pretty girl who knows how to use her charms to the best advantage. Betty, more reserved and shy, never quite knows what to do with her hands, how to hold a cigarette, what to say to the boys they meet.

Soft Machine: Legacy

2006

Soft Machine: Legacy

2006
As a celestial phenomenon neighboring the musical big bang of the Sixties, The Soft Machine Legacy echoes the melodious growl of an era when rock'n'roll, blues, jazz, jazz-rock, funk, soul, pop were, as yet, nothing more than a magma of sounds challenging the musicians' ability to shape the course of music to come. In those days, Soft Machine symbolized the uncompromising dialog between those rock and jazz musicians who were determined to create a synthesis of the untamed energy of rock and the improvisational thrust of jazz. Forty years later, The Soft Machine Legacy musicians have not forsaken their dreams. Immune to the leveling pressures of show biz, Hugh Hopper, John Marshall, John Etheridge and Elton Dean -who passed away shortly after this last reunion at the New Morning - still mesmerize their fans. Whether the cheeks be rosy, or the heads speckled with grey freedom is ageless. Recorded live at the New Morning, Paris on December 12th, 2005 by New Morning Vision.

The 1990 show finds Hooker making a triumphant return to the Montreux stage with an expanded band that includes female vocalist Vala Cupp, an additional guitarist, and a sax player. After a raucous introduction boogie, Hooker delivers another hit-filled set with some new additions, including the title track from his 1989 album The Healer. His bone-shaking rendition of “I’m In The Mood For Love” is the ultimate in amorous blues and is positively percolating. A new slow blues simply called “Mabel” is noteworthy, too, and Hooker gives it his plaintive and soulful all.
