Recorded only five months after Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, "Elastic Rock" is Nucleus' first album and an essential creation in the crystallization of a new musical expression: Jazz fusion. In July 1970 the group presented the innovative compositions from the LP at the Montreux Jazz Festival, won the first prize and subsequently performed both at Newport Jazz Festival and at the Village Gate jazz club, paving the way for many other Jazz fusion ensembles that would appear in the 1970s.
