Description Elton Dean - Elton Dean (1972) [EAC-FLAC] EAC rip (secure mode) | FLAC (tracks)+CUE+LOG -> 461 Mb Full Artwork @ 600 dpi (tiff) A welcome reissue of music first recorded in 1971 and 1972, shortly before Dean left the popular British jazz-rock group the Soft Machine, which he had officially joined only a short time earlier, in late 1969. On this recording, Dean plays alto sax, saxello and electric piano and is aided by a group of musicians which includes two additional Soft Machine members, Mike Ratledge on organ and electric piano and Roy Babbington on string bass. One of Dean's compositions on Just Us, "Neo-Caliban Grides," was actually recorded by the Softs, however, in spite of the obvious parallels, Dean's group is by no means a Soft Machine knock off. The absence of drummer/vocalist Robert Wyatt and bassist Hugh Hopper reduces both the rock element and the experimental electronics, while the presence of the additional musicians -- especially Marc Charig on cornet -- gives Dean's group a fuller sound and one that is much more in the jazz tradition. Charig's contributions on horn and those of an electric guitarist on several tracks, invite some obvious comparisons with the Miles Davis electric band of the Bitches Brew era. And with the extraordinary recording by the Davis group having been released only two years earlier in 1969, its influence on hip young British jazz players would have been substantial. Dean's prominent use of the electric keyboards also provides an obvious parallel with the contemporaneous Davis group. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tracklist: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 01 - Ooglenenovastrome 02 - Something Passed Me By 03 - Blind Badger 04 - Neo-Caliban Grides 05 - Part- The Last 06 - Banking On Bishopsgate (bonus track) 07 - A.N.1.
