5.0 out of 5 stars A Lost Classic of British Blues, July 23, 2002

Few people - other than obsessive Cream fans - have heard of the Graham Bond Organisation, and that's a shame. The group is historically significant because it represents the earliest recordings of Cream's rhythm section - bassist Jack Bruce and drummer Ginger Baker. However, the leaders of this group were singer/organist Bond and sax-man Dick Heckstall-Smith. Quite simply, the Organisation cut some of the grooviest blues- and jazz-rock of the early 1960s. The absence of guitar makes for an unusually "cool" British blues sound. And (hold onto your hats!) Ginger Baker's drum work is understated and tasteful, providing a swinging foundation for the other members' improvisation. Some have mentioned that Bond is not much of a singer and, while that may be true, he's certainly no worse than John Mayall. In short, this is an underrated and underappreciated classic that is a must-have for the fan of early British R&B.

This review is from: The Sound of 65 / There's a Bond Between Us (Audio CD)

This was another band that never got their true impact down on record. I have this collection on reissue vinyl. There are some excellent tracks (Walking In The Park, Wade In The Water, Night Time Is The Right Time, even if he ain't Ray Charles) but I saw this band live and close up many times in places like the Flamingo, Klooks Kleek, Friars etc. They were always good and on a really good night, they were awesome! The well documented differences in the band seemed to produce something that on paper looked as if it should never have happened. Definitely one for afficionados of British RnB.

This review is from: The Sound of 65 / There's a Bond Between Us (Audio CD)

Totally underappricated early R&B jazz sound A GREAT CD of GBO's second and third albums (Live at Klooks Kleek (1st)) It doesnt get any better then Hoochie Coochie Man I like "Sound of 65' the best...its a little harder more rock & roll sounding There is definatly a jazz feel here If you get the opportunity pick this up
