the Musical talents he possessed in abundance. His biggest was perhaps to alloys, not only from a wide variety of styles, rather, from different artists. Who played in the Bands of Keith Tippett, was not a Jazzer, not a Rocker, no Ethno-Popper, not a folk singersongwriter and no classic more. He was the musician who had freed themselves from Idealism, to be for all the isms open. In 1970, Tippett assembled in London, the progressive free jazz rock big band “Centipede”.
Who makes the more than fifty members of this gigantic music pools, to reminisce, to find in it everything that has rank and name in the upper British music scene, the members of Soft Machine and King Crimson, of Nucleus and Blossom Toes, many graduates of the London School of Music and all the individualists of Dudu Puwana about Robert Fripp to Zoot Money.
It was a wild force, barely held together by Tippett on piano, and disbanded only a year later. But all that had mitgewerkelt, could benefit from this time and for your future career. Tippett’s Bands and music colleges were comparable to the Bands of Miles Davis, the left always as a Ph. D. artists.
Keith Tippett, in Bristol, was born and also as a Pianist, Church organist, trumpeter and Hornist trained, came in the mid-sixties, to London, where he founded a sextet with saxophonist Elton Dean, trumpeter Mark Charig and trombonist Nick Evans and his first free jazz close to recording grossed.
Since this time he has worked with several experimental groups, including the big band Ark, the Bands of the South African-born jazz musician Dudu Pukwana and Louis Moholo and to the composer, Howard Riley. Since the eighties he has occurred more in smaller formations and as a solo pianist, where he also combined an original way of jazz phrasing, Ethno-elements, and free improvisation forms, such as from Berlin’s FMP Label released the Album “Mujician”.
With the progressive rock band King Crimson, he is also listen to the albums “In the Wake of Poseidon”, “Lizard” and “Islands”. Keith Tippett, occurred frequently in a Duo with his wife, the singer Julie Tippetts (formerly Julie Driscoll), who was also a sought-after arranger and composer.
