ABOUT THE RECORDING:
"Elastic Rock" is Nucleus' first album. Recorded in January 1970, it was pioneering work in the emerging genre
 of Jazz-Rock Fusion. Bandleader, Ian Carr, later a jazz journalist and published expert on Miles Davis, was probably inspired
by Davis' "going electric" in 1969, but the seminal "Bitches Brew" had not been released at the time Elastic Rock was recorded.
In July 1969, the group presented compositions from their new LP at the Montreux Jazz Festival, winning first prize.

KARL JENKINS: Baritone sax, oboe, piano, Hohner electra piano
