DeleteIn 1967 Mike Ratledge from The Soft Machine married the singer and actress Marsha Hunt, they split up shortly after. Hunt said the key to a happy marriage was to “separate immediately”.
ReplyDeleteMarsha Hunt is also the mother to one of Mick Jaggers eight known children.
Marsha also wore an unforgettable top singing (I think) Wheel On Fire (or was it Gilded Splinters?) on Top Of The Pops, which showed her underboobs (as I believe they are called). No boy knew these even existed at the time. I was struck mute for days.
DeleteWow, I couldn’t find Marsh Hunt from Tops Of The Pops on Yewchewb, but these two might raise the blood pressure.

NOW WE'RE TALKING! I LOVE jazz rock, jazz fusion, jazz funk, and all spaces in-between. To those who say it's widdle and noodle, I quietly say: "go fuck yourself, cube". Newbies can start with Herbie Hancock (85 today) and the more than essential "Headhunters". You don't dig it? We can never be friends.

Delete"never," he notes grimly, is a long tine, Mr. Grimsdale
DeleteHeadhunters is on the prestigious Perfect X list. Jazzrockfusion is far from noodling twaddle - that's the blind alley jazz players found themselves in before they discovered rock.
Deleteif you hold an AK-47 to your shoulder like you see'm do in films and on the olde tv set and pull the trigger, it'll knock you flat on your ass and leave an impressive bruise. True fact; best kind.
ReplyDeleteI shall try to remember this. Thanks.
DeleteFrom 1973, astonishingly, when rock had just about played itself out - a surprisingly melodic live-in-the-studio album full of excitement that took everyone by surprise. Christgau, typically, missed the fun - and the point - entirely, sneering that it was "gimmicky" (?) but everyone else loved it.

Christgau thinks he's hip, but like Lester Bangs, is a secret po-jama person.

Somehow I have reached 2025 without having ever heard this!? Many thanks.

You're welcome - if you haven't heard Crosswinds you're in for a treat!
DeleteBillham Cobly followed up in '74 with the beautiful Crosswinds (another Perfect X), and Total Eclipse in '75. After that, it's a bit of a blur, but these first three albums are constants.
ReplyDeleteCrosswinds/Total Eclipse:

I'll give these a listen as well. Thanks!
DeleteBrian
It's been years since I heard the wonderful 'Crosswinds' so am looking forward, thanks. IIRC Spectrum was a bit manic/ADHD by comparison.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I love Crosswinds, can listen at any time. Hits a mood like no other album that I'm aware of. But Spectrum was the sharp kick up the arse that jazz needed at the time, a kind of punkier Mahavishnu. With tunes. Getting Tommy Bolin [17 - Ed.] was a great gesture and a wild ride - his string breaks! he doesn't care! Total Eclipse is in third place, with its nothing-to-see-here drum solo and darkening of mood, but Cobly's compositions are knotty and weirdly beautiful. It's interesting (to me, anyway) that from here on his sleeve artwork gets formulaic and banal, and there's a sense of that in the music, too.
DeleteCrosswinds, though ... ooh.
Fun Fact: It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide!
