Jazztodon artist of the week: Keith Tippett!
From @aaj : For over thirty years Keith Tippett has been at the forefront of contemporary European jazz and new music.
In the late 1960s, Tippett led a sextet featuring Elton Dean on saxophone, Mark Charig on trumpet and Nick Evans on trombone. In the early 1970s, his big band Centipede brought together much of a generation of young British jazz and rock musicians, recording one double-album, "Septober Energy."He was also in the vicinity of King Crimson, contributing piano to several of their records including "Cat Food" (and even appearing with them on Top of the Pops). His own groups, such as Ovary Lodge tended towards a more contemplative form of European free improvisation. He continued to perform with the improvising ensemble Mujician and later in (2006) Work in Progress.
