Product Description

2008 digitally remastered reissue of the eponymous debut album from the Jazz/Rock outfit, originally released in 1971. Satisfaction was a short-lived Jazz/Progressive outfit formed by trumpet and horn player Mike Cotton, a veteran of the early '60's British R&B boom. The group also included John Beecham (trombone), Derek Griffiths (guitar, vocals), Bernie Higginson (drums, vocals), Lem Lubin (saxophone) and Nick Newell (saxophone). John Beecham had previously been in the Mike Cotton Sound, whilst Griffiths had been a member of the highly regarded Artwoods with Keef Hartley and Jon Lord. By the late 1960's, Jazz was crashing headlong into the world of Rock and Mike Cotton assembled a group of like-minded musicians to explore the musical possibilities in this area. Esoteric.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is Satisfaction !!, September 27, 2008

By	Randall W. Johnson (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
