Soft Machine - Switzerland 1974 [CD]

Named after a novel by William Burroughs, the legendary Soft Machine was one of the very first groups to bring together jazz and progressive/psychedelic rock, fusing these into a single, creative style. In 1974, the group added the now-legendary guitarist Allan Holdsworth to the line-up and headed for the well known Montreux Jazz Festival. Now, for the first time ever, these audio and video recordings have been licensed and the entire performance is issued in this CD/DVD set, which features the earliest performance footage of Allan Holdsworth on the marketplace.
