Robert Wyatt Essentials

Robert Wyatt Essentials

Robert Wyatt came to international attention as the drummer for Soft Machine in the '60s, lending his gorgeous falsetto and startlingly fast playing to their jazz/prog hybrid. After leaving the band, the Canterbury scene pioneer recorded a pair of records with his political pop group Matching Mole. Wyatt was then forced to rethink his approach to music after an unfortunate fall from a window left him paralysed from the waist down. Since then, he's turned towards a more elegiac pop style that embraced jazz, reggae, folk and experimental sounds. Wyatt announced his retirement from music in 2014.
