SOFT MACHINE - Grides (1970)



Autumn of 1970 sees the Soft Machine in stable quartet, perhaps defined as "classic" to the turn of the jazz group.

Let the trials with the effective line-up increased by several wind instruments, Wyatt, Ratledge and Dean Hopper give way to "dance" of the final consecration of progressive jazz. Already saw the part in the study had completed their third album (the historic "Third" of course) but they are on tour again, to keep alive the creative power of the collective.

Grides contains a concert recorded on October 25, 1970 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam is well known, but a special feature of this documentation obviously lies in the posthumous find some more "order" and less aggressive of the group, apparently more committed to "listen" to attack more than an audience. Perhaps the awareness to play an increasing role in founding the new British rock scene hybridized with European jazz musicians unconsciously suggests a more substantial control in the performance. This does not mean loss of inspiration and creativity, but rather a clear manifestation of perfect symbiotic mechanism between the four minds that finally found common ground in live performances (which is not always able to keep the study had problems with the SEE ... "Moon in June" Wyatt and his legendary "do it yourself" just the "Third" and / or sessions at the BBC first documented in "Triple Echo" and then, later in "Soft Machine Turns on / The Peel Sessions").

This lower dose of "bad performance" suggests a more relaxed listening to appreciate the degree of maturity reached by the interplay of four (especially between Hopper and Wyatt) and the aesthetic sense of formal language in the making takes over the charging animal of only a few months earlier.
