Dedicated to you

Delta Saxophone Quartet's album "Dedicated to you...but you weren't listening - the music of Soft Machine" (on MoonJune Records) is out. The band is : Graeme Blevins(soprano), Pete Whyman(alto),Tim Holmes(tenor) and Chris Caldwell (baryton). We also get some Hugh Hopper (bass) and Morgan Fisher (vocal a la Wyatt!). It's no secret that I am more of a Wyatt fan, than a Soft Machine/Canterbury fan, but this is a positive surprise! They do not make straight covers of Soft's music, but make it their own. It's almost too sweet sometimes, but it's a beautiful record! They also made me go fetch the Soft Machine vinyl in the basement (numbers 1-4 are close to the record player of course!). I think I'm going Soft!
The Quartet is soon touring. Check the dates and venues at their MySpace site, and listen to the tunes while you are there.
