      ALBUM:
      1(A) THE ADVANCEMENT (Philips PHS 600-328) 1969 R1


      A sixties Hollywood outfit whose album is one of those strange late sixties barrier-breaking experimental
      efforts trying to fuse different musical genres. Orient Express, Autosalvage and John Berberian are other
      similar projects which spring to mind. This particular one is an attempt to fuse jazz with folk, rock and acid.
      Interesting but its success is debatable.

      Lynn Blessing also released a solo album in 1969, Sunset Painter and Lou Kabok went on to play with Gabor Szabo.
