First four volumes of Hugh Hopper archival recordings reviewed

Much of the pulse and invention that fueled England’s famed Canterbury scene of the 1960s and ’70s can be traced to the eclectic bass playing of Hugh Hopper. Whether he was bestowing the fabled “fuzz bass” with guitar-like abilities or striding a subtle groove, Hopper was one of the most industrious electric bassists of his day. But perhaps because the Canterbury flow of psychedelia, fusion and free jazz expression limited his fame to cultish devotion, he was also largely unheralded.
