"One of the most influential and innovative pioneers in contemporary British jazz, pianist Keith Tippett first gained widespread attention in the late sixties -- early seventies for his piano / keyboard playing on the recordings of King Crimson, Soft Machine, Elton Dean and Peter Sinfield. Despite these high profile appearances, Tippett's solo releases inexplicably never gained more than a small, but dedicated cult following, making him one of the most talented and undervalued living British jazz musicians. Blueprint, originally released in 1972 features his wife Julie Tippetts (née Driscoll) on vocals, Roy Babbington on bass and Frank Perry and Keith Bailey on percussions. The session, produced by Robert Fripp, finds Tippett exploring new musical realms and marks the start of his free improvisation career."

Beautiful solo piano set, from the '94 Victoriaville Festival, which mixed prepared-piano percussive trance links and higher-key elevations. "By placing polished stones inside the Baldwin piano, he produced some of the most radiant metallic tones ever beamed from the instrument. By spending half the show discovering the beauty of the piano's interior (which included a set of enormous chimes) and the other half manufacturing abrasive, yet delicate tones, Tippett proved that, indeed, he's been wrongfully overlooked by most of the jazz community." --Exclaim magazine
