(Ian Carr's) Nucleus - Elastic Rock 1970 torrent

An essential debut and a defining moment of jazz-rock.

'Elastic Rock' marked the beginning of a series of intricate and experimental fusion albums. Freewheeling, creative music, thought-provoking and invigorating.

Formed in 1969 by trumpeter and flugelhornist Ian Carr, Nucleus were among the very first groups to fuse jazz and rock from the jazz perspective.

It remains a great piece of early British jazz rock.
