THE KEITH TIPPETT GROUPwith ROY BABBINGTON, ELTON DEAN, ROBERT WYATT,
NICK EVANS, GARY BOYLE, NEVILLE WHITEHEAD, etc,
While he’s almost always kept one foot in the rock world, nonetheless
Great Britain’s most intrepid and unpredictable jazz pianist.
Keith Tippett played the piano on the records of King Crimson, Peter Sinfield, Elton Dean,
and various offshoots from the Crimson/Soft Machine orbit.
His own recordings during this period never found more than a tiny audience,
but his playing on those others artists' records, especially the King Crimson albums,
made him a familiar name to tens of thousands of listeners

The band here is comprised of 11 pieces, including Elton Dean, Robert Wyatt, Nick Evans, Roy Babbington,
Gary Boyle, Neville Whitehead, and others. The commitment to jazz here is total, as Tippett grafts
the dynamic sensibilities of George Russell, the textural and chromatic palettes of Gil Evans,
and the sheer force of Oliver Nelson onto his own palette. The interplay between soloists and ensembles
is dazzling -- check "Thoughts for Geoff," with blazing solos by Nick Evans, cornetist Marc Charig,
and Tippett himself in a series of angular arpeggios interspersed with chordal elocution.
Wyatt's drumming, which opens the record with a bang on "This Is What Happens,"
is easily the most inspired of his career on record. The nod to Mingus on "Green and Orange Night Park"
is more than formal; it's an engagement with some of the same melodic constructs Mingus
was working out in New Tijuana Moods. In sum, this is an adventurous kind of jazz that still swings very hard
despite its dissonance and regards a written chart as something more than a constraint to creative expression...(AllMusic)
