The only features tonight are the lead-off cuts, commemorating the debut CD (and performance) of Not Really, and another 'In Memoriam' for avante-garde bassoon and Oboe player Lindsay Cooper, in the form of one of a rarity from one of her first commercially released band - Comus! Other than that, it's the usual swirling mix of psychedelia and jazz-tinged rock.

Now to the 'In Memoriam' Portion: Lindsay Cooper, english bassoon and Oboe player passed away at the far-too-early age of 62. She was a member of Comus, Henry Cow, The Feminist Improvising Group, News From Babel, David Thomas & the Pedestrians, Maarten Altena Octet and many solo projects. In honour we play an only-recently-released recording of The Malgaard Suite by Comus. |
