Canterbury Sans Frontières: Episode 76

Something from Kevin Ayers' last (and unexpectedly excellent) album, the Steve Hillage Band live in London this summer, Tim Blake live in a church in Paris in '75, classic tracks from Hatfield and Matching Mole, North Sea Radio Orchestra covering another track from Robert Wyatt's Rock Bottom (plus Robert talking about the album) and Geoff Leigh guesting with an obscure Swedish duo. Also, spiritual jazz from Ahmad Jamal and Yusef Lateef, an early Damo Suzuki outing with Can, psychedelic wonderment from the almost forgotten Mighty Baby, another lost Coltrane Quartet masterpiece, something new from Bristol's Spindle Ensemble and recent local sounds from Joshua, Raven, Paisley Mess and Lapis Lazuli.
