Gentle Giant - Octopus (1972)

On today's programme is one of the progressive rock 'classics', which means one of the albums of the 70's you need to know if you are into progressive rock. It is a masterpiece by Gentle Giant: Octopus (1972). I am playing it in honor of Ray Shulman (8 December 1949 – 30 March 2023), who mostly played bass guitar and violin/viola, but also guitar, trumpet, recorder, keyboards, drums, percussion and vocals. Shulman and keyboardist-bandmate Kerry Minnear composed or co-wrote much of the music for Gentle Giant.
