Rock Bottom (Robert Wyatt)

Rock Bottom is the second solo album by the British progressive rock -musicus Robert Wyatt . It was the first album Wyatt made after the accident which he ended up in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

Rock Bottom is special in the sense that the album the first clear attempt the worlds of jazz and rock to let melt together into something new. Incessant sound Wyatt keyboards, seeking space to handle all ideas, in order to give expression to all effects and words. In the first "Little Red Riding Hood Hit The Road" Wyatt's voice must confront Feza's aggressive trumpet work . The result is a unique kind of free-style jazz song.
