Centipede was a jazz/progressive rock/Canterbury
sound big
band with more than 50 members, organized and led by the British
free
jazz pianist
Keith
Tippett, that brought together much of a generation of young
British jazz and rock musicians, e.g. from the
bands Soft Machine, King
Crimson, Nucleus and Blossom
Toes.
As well as performing some concerts (limited economically by
the size of the band), they recorded one double-album, Septober
Energy (produced by Robert
Fripp), released in 1971.
