3 stars NUCLEUS were formed in 1969 by trumpetist Ian Carr,one of the most respectful figures of the British jazz scene.They won the first prize at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival and in 1970 they released their debut ''Elastic rock''.Highly acclaimed by both prog and jazz reviewers,''Elastic rock'' is a smooth jazz piece of music led mainly by improvisations through sax,flutes and Ian Carr's trumpet.In this all instrumental album,the brass instruments are supported by the nice electric piano and the very distinctive and somewhat fuzzy guitars to result an album of mellow yet delicate jazz musicianship.Though closer to jazz than rock,NUCLEUS prooved that there is no need to be highly complex in order to create a relaxing and greatly-executed piece of jazz/rock music.
