Curved Air, live at Bilzen Jazz Festival, Vlaams, Belgium - August 1971

Fronted by the charismatic Sonja Kristina and driven by Darryl Way’s innovative violin, Curved Air burst onto the British music scene in the autumn of 1970, seemingly out of nowhere. Championed by John Peel, their exciting and innovative brand of progressive rock captivated audiences and made them live favourites. This superb release finds them at the peak of their powers at the Bilzen Jazz Festival in August 1971, and is presented together with background notes and images.
