Theo Travis Recruits Prog Stars For New Solo Album

12/18/2014
. (Prog) Theo Travis will record a new solo album in January, he has revealed. The flautist and saxophonist - who has worked with Gong and Soft Machine Legacy and with Robert Fripp in the duo Travis and Fripp - has gathered a team of prog stars for the record, which he plans to release in June.

Travis tells Prog: "It is going to be an instrumental, bluesy, prog-jazz album. The line up is myself on saxophone and flutes, Nic France on drums, Mike Outram on guitars and Pete Whittaker on Hammond organ and Fender Rhodes.

"I have written most of the music, and there is an instrumental version of a track I co-wrote with Andy Tillison - the title track from the Tangent album A Place In The Queue.

"There's also a cover of Robert Wyatt's Maryan and a track I wrote with Dave Sturt of the recent Gong line-up called Everything I Feared. Steven Wilson has agreed to mix the album too - so it is all very exciting." Read more here.
