Jerry Goodman viulu mm

netistä: Mix of proggy blues rock & jazz-tinged jamming w/ a focus on Jerry Goodman's violin + complex trumpet/sax arrangements, solid bass/drums, soulful vocals, good instrumental work & slightly distorted guitar sprinkled with psychedelia.

This album is an overlooked gem from a time when everything was new in rock music. Psychedelic, progressive, funky, unpredictable and totally jamming. Some bits sounded like I may have heard them before, but I can't believe I never knew about this record until now.

Great album. Not much in demand but a very interesting and rare elpee. I've had it for at least 40 years in my collection and still listen to it every now and than. A true classic, that not many people know.

The Flock were an American Rock band from Chicago, formed in 1965 by Rick Canoff and Fred Glickstein. 
Originally a Garage Rock band, their sound shifted towards Jazz-Rock / Fusion in the late 60s. After the release of their second album the band split in the early 70s. A few years later The Flock reformed with a new lineup and went on a European tour in 1973. They released a third studio album in 1975, but split again shortly after. 2014 saw the release of a "lost" studio album comprised of material recorded in the mid to late 70s.
