Roarin’ by Don Rendell Quintet released on Jazzland in 1961.

Dean of Ace Records wrote:

“Roarin'” is by far the most far-reaching of Rendell’s early releases. In early 1961, he had put together a new Quintet and had started to work club dates. The band included Phil Kinorra and Tony Archer on drums and bass, both youngsters, but already with the experience of playing alongside Jackie McLean and Freddie Redd in the London production of the play The Connection.

Pianist John Burch was a long-time associate who provided a stability at the centre of the group. The wild card was the 23-year-old alto player Graham Bond, who is described as having a contrasting melodic approach to the saxophone rather than harmonic one of Don Rendell.."

So here's the follow-up: "We Put Our Magick On You"

The opening track on this record, "Forbidden Fruit", is something that everyone should hear once in their lives. The energy and sheer grooviness hit you slap bang in the face. It's one of Graham's best Hammond performances, and the piano fits in surprisingly well too.

EDIT: Had to postpone! Looks like my stylus is suddenly trashed. Maybe it was the old one, after all :( I hope the record's OK.

Some #occult themed #rock albums you should wrap your ears around.

#Coven, “ Witchcraft Destroys Minds and Reaps souls”. A classic. All the “Hail Satans” and demonic invocations you could want, played forwards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHAnR0198V4

#GrahamBond, “Holy Magick”. Influential British blues organ player, became convinced he was Aleister Crowley’s son and released a few magical albums before his untimely death. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCMNNJST9P4&t=2s
