One of the most underrated British artists, John Hackett inhabits two worlds at the same time: that of progressive rock, especially when he leads a band whose latest platter saw the light of day in 2025, and that of symphonic music – although the flautist’s last solo offering, "The Piper Plays His Tune" from 2020, also drew on pop. Still, his next endeavor, ready to be issued on October 23rd, will present something completely different – perhaps closer in style to "Velvet Afternoon" than to what the veteran has recorded in recent years.
