Chris Caldwell - Soft Machine for saxophones

  • 16 years ago
Excerpts from one of London's Royal Academy of Music's "Free on Fridays" concert series. This particular project was led by Chris Caldwell, baritone saxophonist in the Delta Saxophone Quartet, performing alongside students of the Academy. The pieces performed are taken from the classic Soft Machine repertoire : "Floating World" (Karl Jenkins, arr. Adrian Revell), "Moon In June" (Robert Wyatt, arr. Gareth Brady) and "Box 25/4 Lid" (Mike Ratledge & Hugh Hopper), the latter re-arranged by Yumi Hara Cawkwell under the title "Wrapped Box 25/4 Lid (with Ribbons)". The seven students are Joshua Arcoleo, George Crowley, Thomas Laurence, Thomas Leaper, Richard Shepherd, Dafydd Williams and Joseph Wright.
