Five Bridges

cover

1970 • LP • Charisma 1014


"On a journey from the almost Utopian freedom of our music to the established orthodox music school I met Joseph Eger who was travelling in the opposite direction.

Since that meeting we have on various occasions been catalysts in combining together the music from our different backgrounds forming sometimes a fusion, and other times a healthy conflict between the orchestra, representing possibly the establishment, and the trio, representing the non-establishment; ourselves having complete trust in a rebellious spirit and highly developed, broad minded, music brain whose reformed ideas in direction have been frowned upon, almost spat upon by some so-called music critics. That being Joseph Eger, the fighter.

One such concert was at the Fairfield Hall on 17th October 1969 from which most of the recordings on this album were taken."

Keith Emerson
