JULIAN JAY SAVARIN : WAITERS ON THE DANCE

Julian Jay Savarin natural born Dominican but moved to GB later on may be considered another named that gone under the radar in prog circles maybe because of lack of exposure or bad management. One of the proeminent figures from ealry '70 in prog both if we speak as a solo artis or with Julian Treatment, he is not regarded among well known composers and keyboard playes of his time. The one and only album under his name saw the light in 1971 named Waiters on the dance and is an excellent album all around, better then many well known releases from that era. He was more known as a writer, specially in Japan , for publishing novels. Back to the album, there is a lot to like here, fuzzy guitars going into psychedelic prog terrytory, lots of mellotron and inventive keyboards, very nice vocal parts, in some places is similarity with lets say dutch Earth & Fire. Al in all more then great and quite underrated in my opinion, all pieces standing as almost excellent with a plus on opening Child of the Night 1 & 2, an 8 plus min of pure delight. 4 stars easy, and recommended one of the better psych/prog albums from early years of that decade..
