In the first hour Ron introduces the SOFT MACHINE SEVEN album, recorded in July of 1973. In the second hour, Mark features Soft Machine's album BUNDLES, recorded in July of 1974.

Hi Ron.....and welcome to the show today, Mark. What a treat guys. This takes me back to a specific time and memories of some old friends who turned me on to both Soft Maching and Weather Report; Theu discovered jazz through those 2 bands, whereas I was a traditional jazz lover for many years already. So this was a "Wow.....WTF is this" moment in my life. Opened new windows of music for me. So thanks guys for a the "time travel" today!!!!! Super sweet!!!
