... and the guy even got payed for it , it's taken from the ‘Dictionnaire du Jazz‘[Laffont] (1994) , which is a really good reference book IMO, and I still think it's a good entry list and yes I agree with you the author should have been more careful, Xavier Daverat deserves a serious spanking....

I discovered prog through jazz rock, favorites of mine are Return to Forever, Caravan, and Billy Cohbam's solo work.

^^Gents, which is the best If album to start off with...? If they compare favourably with e.g. Chicago Transit Authority's first, I'm interested...

Grand band and my favorite brass rock group tending to jazz. Have you seen there is a good live recording available on CD (recorded in 1972 in Europe) - there is also another album Tea Break Over - which alas If are past their prime with only a few of the original line-up playing. Part of the band became Zzebra and of course by the 1979/80 the successful Morrisey-Mullen Band.

I haven't noticed much discussion about the British jazz\rock group IF. I found them while in college in the mid 70s and fell in love with them. Sort of an edgier cross between Blood, Sweat & Tears and Chicago. I have four of their albums (I know they have more):

A bit of a mess of a list isn't it? Would be far from happy to see this level of inaccuracy in PA for any artist's discography Dates wrong, titles wrong ( 7th Galaxy!!!!), track titles mixed up with album titles - & Wizzard???? |

Thanks for the info, Alucard! I recommend the Live album, and I'll buy myself my own copy if I find one (a friend sent me the songs for me to listen but no info, just the warm recommendation). Somehow I didn't manage to find anything via google because "El Grupo" simply means "The Band" in Spanish and the search results were highly irrelevant. Great name, by the way!

'Toto' spinoff with Steve Lukather on guitar & vocals.
"El Grupo's first Live record was released as a special limited edition digipack of 1,000 copies and is sold exclusively at El Grupo's European shows in November 2005 ≈ 50 pieces per show, one per person.
The album features 5 very extended tracks of classic rock and fusion tunes that allow all band members to stretch out and show their unique talent. The live recording captures all the fun and looseness on stage and makes the listener feel the great vibes of the shows. " El Grupo: Steve Lukather - Guitar & Vocals Joey Heredia - Drums, Percussion & Chant Steve Weingart - Keyboards Oskar Cartaya - Bass Tracklist: 1. Dismemberment (15:21)
Lenny Castro/David Garfield 2. I'm Buzzed (16:52)
Michael Landau 3. Birdland (9:45)
J. Zawinul 4. Little Wing (10:14)
Jimi Hendrix 5. Led Boots (13:28)
Max Middleton I will give it a listen!

Anyone aware of this band, El Grupo? This is the album I got to listen to - http://www.amazon.com/Live-El-Grupo/dp/B000L6AYY0/sr=1-1/qid=1169835365/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0474926-0138366?ie=UTF8&s=music - they would make a great addition to the PA, IMO.

The best jazz historians will remind that Canterbury - particuarly though Soft Machine - were most influential on the European jazz rock scene, and this happening when jazz rock was just moving above ground in the States. Interesting to read in the Robert Wyatt biography that the American jazz scene were enthusiastic about the Softs too- apparently Miles Davis attended gigs, Ornette Coleman hosted parties for the band (and this before 1970) - I'm damned sure some of Chick Corea's earlier electric playing was influenced by Ratledge. On a very intriguing (repro of a) postcard home, Wyatt reports he sat in which Chicago (in Chicago).

Not according to Paul Stump's Mclaughlin biography, Go Ahead John - happen to be reading it at the moment, along with Michael Palin's Diaries and Richard Dawkins God Delusion. McLaughlin indulged well in London during the 60's on what ever was going, eventually discovering one form of the opiate of the people towards the end of that decade and presumably avoiding dodgy chemicals since.

Doors of perception was fascination to Jim Morison also.
John Mclauglin was rare example how to be clean all the time, but he found his drug in religion (Sri Chimony). |

'Grudge' is probably the wrong word - why did Davis employ so many white musicians in his last 30 years? Why did Miles want the selling power and audiences that bought and attended the new fangled rock music of the late 60's (predominantly white)? Davis was a middle class black American , son of doctors, good education, who because of where his music took him, discovered the worst of racial prejudice. And read and understand the sociology of drug-taking and jazz, e.g. through the autobiography of Mez Mezrow in Really The Blues - - hard drugs when first taken by jazz artists were seen as doors of perception (to borrow author Audous Huxley's terminology), taking them to new compositional and musical heights. Maybe, until they became badly hooked, there was slight truth in this - but once hooked by the man, total f**k-up. At least some of the hard drug users escaped H or whatever. Booze and its addiction for example carried away Bix Beiderbeck at the end of the 20's.

I'm not an expert in Italian jazz-fusion, but I often visit a very interesting website called "MovimentiProg" (www.movimentiprog.org), which hosts excellent reviews of bands otherwise quite unknown outside Italy. Speakers of Spanish should find it relatively easy to read these reviews and find out about new (and not so new) Italian jazz-fusion acts. In my visits to the site I've read about quite a few of them! |

Yes that's true. One mont after Woodstock Hendrix had a gig (charity) in Harlem. First they stole his guitar, than 80% of the audience leave before him (only 500 stayed. He was so disapointed that he finished his appirience with : f**k you and good night. Miles and Hendrix was not very glad that most of their admires and audience was white. |
