Voodoo Child (long version) Jimi.

Sweet. God knows I love Mitch on drums, but Buddy Miles is amazing here!

I would have dearly loved to have seen THE BATTLE OF THE DRUMMERS TOUR back in 1972. What he could do with a single bass drum kit, versus Ginger Baker's double bass kit, never ceases to amaze! They were the best.

Well Baker is still with us but not doing so well, I've read. I saw Ginger with CREAM, and that, I will always remember. The first jazz/rock fusion drummer.
A phenom then, and remains so, for me today. Back to Buddy.

Jay Ferguson - "Shakedown Cruise"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db6fD0nN0tQ

a breif history...
"Spirit was founded in the mid-'60s. Practically every musician of the time cited The Beatles and their music as an influence, and Jay was no exception. An interesting facet of musician life in the Los Angeles area at this time was that good "players" circulated amongst a subculture of performing bands that may have played for only one or two paying gigs and then dissolved as each went their own way. Reuniting after a chance meeting at an afternoon love-in at Griffith Park with longtime musician friends Randy California (a well known "guitar slinger" in the Jimi Hendrix vein who actually played with Hendrix in a pre-Experience band) and California's stepfather Ed Cassidy (a longtime studio drummer), Ferguson joined with them to form a jazz influenced rock group that was originally called Spirits Rebellious, after a Khalil Gibran passage. With the general consensus that the moniker was too long, they later shortened the name to Spirit. Jay was the last member to actually join the band, and sporting a rather mod Beatles style haircut, he found himself in the position of lead vocalist and percussionist.

Jay traded singing and songwriting duties with Randy, writing most of the songs that would be on their first album. Spirit began playing at various nightclubs and concerts in the Los Angeles area, especially the ones along the Sunset Strip, including the famous Whiskey-a-Go-Go. At one of these shows, famed French film producer Jacques Demy strolled in and saw Spirit perform and decided he wanted them in his next movie that he was filming there in Hollywood. This led to a cameo role for the band and a short speaking part in which Jay basically played a character based loosely on himself in a largely forgotten film called Model Shop (film). Spirit also provided much of the instrumental soundtrack for this movie. Spirit went on to tour somewhat extensively and recorded several albums.

and then into Jo Jo Gunne....
As Spirit's final album with the original quintet, "Twelve Dreams Of Dr. Sardonicus," was too slow-moving up the charts, Jay and Mark decided to leave Spirit in the early '70s and form their own band. Jay flipped through a music encyclopedia for inspiration as to what to call this fledgling group, and landed on one of his favorite artists, Chuck Berry. One of Chuck's songs provided a great idea for a name and Jo Jo Gunne was born.

Jo Jo Gunne was more of a straight-ahead rock-and-roll band than Spirit which, while favored to this day by fans and musicians alike, fit into no specific music mold. Jay became the sole songwriter for Jo Jo Gunne, serving as it only lead vocalist. His barrel-house piano playing style made him the ideal front man for the band, as well. Jay's songwriting and Mark Andes' full-bottomed bass style were ideal for Jo Jo Gunne, the second artists signed to the new Asylum Records label that was just being started by future Dreamworks co-founder David Geffen. The band scored a moderate hit with "Run, Run, Run" on their very first album.

With the first record and some touring already completed, Mark Andes then decided to depart Jo Jo Gunne and join the band that would later become Firefall, with brother Matt staying behind with Jo Jo Gunne. Jimmie Randall, an Austin, Texas bassist, assumed Mark's position for the remainder of the band's life.

Jo Jo Gunne toured all over the US and Europe almost constantly for the next three years, briefly managing to stop back into the studio to complete three more albums that didn't make as big an impact as their first album. The members became exhausted with this hectic, non-stop touring and recording schedule. Matt Andes also left the band after the third album and was temporarily replaced with Star Donaldson on lead guitar, and then, later, John Staehely (who had earlier briefly filled in with Spirit on their Feedback album) came on board, assuming Star's role. After a four-year grinding run, the group eventually decided to call it quits in the mid 1970s. Jo Jo Gunne reformed in 2005, and recorded a new album, "Big Chain," which included both new material and new versions of several Gunne classics."

Jay was a great talent. I read he could pick up just about any instrument that was needed and play it. Jo Jo Gunne are great...but Spirit is in my top five favorite bands of all time.

Thanks, Nicole.
