SOFT WORKS - ABRACADABRA IN OSAKA

  • soft works: abracadabra in osaka
        (2020, 2cd, usa, moonjune) 

Recorded live at Namba Hatch in Osaka, Japan on August 11, 2003, the Soft Works band presented Elton Dean (sax), Allan Holdsworth (guitar), Hugh Hopper (bass guitar) and John Marshall (drums).

On the Bandcamp page, Moonjune label manager Leonardo Pavkovic explains in detail how this project came together. It was the re-birth of Soft Machine, as well as the start of Moonjune.
A fascinating read.

"Abracadabra In Osaka" is quite exceptional. Although all four members of Soft Works were once part of Soft Machine, they never were in the band at the same time.
Beautiful.
Recommended listening.
