Soft Bounds - Paris 2004

Here's the final Hugh Hopper post - find the other four here.

This particular band features a pair of talented French musicians along with old buddy Elton Dean. Both Sophia Domancich and Simon Goubert were subject of an earlier post, very different in style - a 2008 show of the trio D.A.G. (with Jean-Jacques Avenel) can be found here.

Now back to Hopper... this is a fairly good and very listenable audience recording from the Sunset in Paris. If you prefer, burn it to three discs in order not to interrupt the continuing flow of the music in Set 2.

The links will follow in a while.

Please forgive my disfunctional posting of late... it will be even worse as in a week, I'll be off for a two week holiday (well-deserved, believe me!)
