Short Wave – Live (1993)

More tales from the depths of the Canterbury rabbit hole. In the early 1990s. all four participants in this album had their own bands, and were struggling to get work. They had approached the organiser of the Le Mans Jazz Festival, who broached the idea of putting together this 'all star' band, which he felt would attract interest.

So it's a short lived, one tour project featuring Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) on bass, Phil Miller (Hatfield and the North and National Health) on guitar, Pip Pyle (also Hatfield and Health, as well as Gong) on drums, and Didier Malherbe (Gong) on saxes and flute). There's no pretense of prog or space rock here, it's just easy to listen to jazz.
