SUMMARY:Soft Machine Legacy was launched in 2004 as a coalition of 3 long-time servers from different eras of the legendary progressive jazz band Soft Machine\, along with young blood and ardent fan Theo Travis. Playing a repertoire of new originals and some vintage pieces\, this incarnation of the band keeps the spirit very much alive and progresses it into the 21st century\, with steaming\, propulsive grooves\, funky jazz-rock and infectious energy.
