Jester - Jester (1978 / Jester)
No confundir con los "más recientes" Jester canadienses, de 1994. Éstos eran de Long Beach, Ca. Y editaron su único prensaje privado en 1978. Mal año ya para progresividades, aunque a algunos todavía les podía ésa bendita fiebre. No hay mucha más información al respecto. Sus integrantes eran Eldin Green (guitarras, voz solista, saxos), David Price (teclados, voz), David Owens (batería, voz) y Tom Mitchell (bajo, Moog bass pedals, voz). En éste último rol también ejerció Scott Myers. En 2011, Eldin Green, (fallecido en 2013), lo reedita en cd con más material, titulándolo "Jester Complete". Lo que vamos a encontrar aquí en líneas generales es genuino prog USA 70s, (motivo de alborozo para este escriba enfermo), aunque con muchas influencias diversas. Recovecos estilísticos de los que se apropian, enriqueciendo mucho su propuesta. Basta con ser un poco abierto de sesera. Que no todos los proggers lo son, como toda secta inmunda.

I sometimes wonder what it was like to be a music lover in the seventies. So many bands with so many records and so many of them obscure…was it as big a treat as it is today to find something incredibly rare. Blackwater Park "Dirt Box" [Spalax]
ResponderEliminarTheir lone (only one album) with 1972 this German hard rock outfit with an English vocalist,combined elements from multiple extant and budding rock subgenres to construct their complex sound: hard rock, blues-rock, jazz-rock, acid rock, prog rock, and even proto-metal.
Blackwater Park is an obscure band that emerged from the Berlin underground scene. They released their unique album "Dirt Box" in 1971, published on BASF in 1972. The group delivers a captivating, effective bluesy-heavy rock "trip" with lot of incisive guitar riffs, progressive Hammond Organ's arrangements, melodic heavy vocals and psychedelic effects that are part of the mix. His British singer had a strong voice. Especially the third and heavy track "Indian Summer", which clearly shows us the quality, engaging and virtuosity among its members. Remember that the last song is beautiful version of "For No One", composed by Lennon and McCartney,with the album 'Revolver' issued in 1966.
