New Theo Travis Album And Tour
Wednesday, October 24, 2007
Versatile flautist/saxophonist Theo Travis releases his new album Double Talk, on November 5th (which is available from his website - see below). It's very much inspired by the multifarious projects he’s been involved that include Palle Mikkelberg, Soft Machine Legacy and Gong – as well as exploring ambient textures and psychedelic passages. Based around the swirling organ of Pete Whittaker and skronking guitar virtuoso Mike Outram, the session is also blessed with ex-King Crimson guitar legend Robert Fripp on three tracks, alongside flexible drummer Roy Dodds adding many layers of rhythmic texture.
Supporting this with an extensive UK tour this is an exciting progressive jazz project worth checking out in a live setting - see them on the following dates:
