Now I was thinking 'all British avante/free jazz collections' or at a stretch 'Soft Machine collections'. If you had seen parts two and three of Jazz Britannia on BBC 4 the last two Fridays, then you will have realised Keith Tippett will given short shift to your proposal, talking with considerable enthusiasm about Centipede and being fairly dismissive when he considered Krimson as being session work, like he has done subsequently with very different rock groups in the 80's. Having seen Keith Tippett disappear into the bowels of a grande piano for most of a performance with Elton Dean's Just Us jazz group in the mid 70's - I've made the tentative Machine suggestion.
Interesting and strange to note that the caption on screen for the separate names of husband and wife, Keith and Judy Tippett, was:
'Keith Tippett'
(Keith's stage name is Tippett but real surname is Tippetts)
'Judy Tippetts'
(Judy prefers her proper married name and was formerly Judy Driscoll with Brian Auger's Trinity)
Conjures up some interesting 'marriage discussions' between the two of them....................
