This review is from: Satisfaction (Audio CD)

If you like the horn rock of early Chicago and Blood Sweat and Tears, take heart. There was a lot more of this music made that you might know about. There is Keef Heartly, Loading Zone, and Cold Blood.

And Satisfaction, led by Mike Cotton. Perhaps such lesser known horn bands were so due to progressive stance. Satisfaction, like the hidden groups mentioned above, were not interested in making AM hits. Satisfaction added brass to the all-encompassing approach that made late 1960s rock so bold.

This album has multi-part songs, funk, ballads, and jazz. This album thrives as much on diversity as much as crack musicianship. Pay particular attention to the nimble flute work. Satisfaction were more interested in creating well crafted solos and arrangements more than they were brassy splash.


A great album to start looking deeper into this often too commercial and under explored genre. Listen to Chicago and BS&T. Just don't be content with just scratching the surface.

This review is from: Satisfaction (Audio CD)

As a fan of artists such as Tom Scott, Bobby Caldwell, and George Benson - this CD fit right in with them.
I had never heard of the group Satisfaction (nor any of the musicians in the group) and purchased because
I am trying to find different sounds to add to my iTunes library. I was very happy with this purchase. The
songs are all from the early 70's but sound fresh enough to be on any "smooth jazz" format FM radio
station of today. I would recommend this disk to anyone that is looking for up-beat jazz that enjoys a
nice sax in the mix. Good to listen to while driving to take your mind off of traffic.
