Third is a 1970 double LP by Soft Machine, with each side of the original
vinyl consisting of a single long composition.[1] Its music explores the
emerging jazz fusion of the type present on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew,
which was released in the same month. Third marks the most major of
Soft Machine's several shifts in musical genre over their career,
completing their transition from psychedelic music to jazz, and is a
significant milestone of the Canterbury scene, featuring interplay
between the band's personnel: Mike Ratledge on keyboards, Robert Wyatt
on drums, Hugh Hopper on bass and newest member Elton Dean on saxophone.
Lyn Dobson appears on saxophone and flute on "Facelift", recorded while
he was a full member of the band (then a quintet), although he is credited
as an additional performer. Jimmy Hastings (brother of Pye Hastings
from Caravan) makes substantial contributions on flute and clarinet on
"Slightly All The Time", free-jazz violinist Rab Spall
(then a bandmate of Wyatt's in the part-time ensemble Amazing Band)
is heard on the coda to "Moon In June", and Nick Evans
(a member of the band during its short-lived septet incarnation)
makes a very brief appearance on trombone in "Out-Bloody-Rageous".
