This is some of the best horn work I have heard on a rock album. I used to dislike horns in a rock context. My musical tastes have broadened, fortunately.

Quote:

Bio:

British jazz-rock band ''Mogul Thrash'' evolved from James Litherland's Brotherhood, which in addition to guitarist Litherland (an alumnus of Colosseum who was a founding member of the group in 1969) also featured guitarist/reedist Michael Rosen (previously of Eclection), drummer Bill Harrison and the so-called "Dundee Horns" -- saxophonists Roger Ball and Malcolm Duncan. With the addition of singer/bassist John Wetton, formerly of short-lived London band Splinter (not to be confused with the vocal duo from South Shields), the group rechristened itself Mogul Thrash

About the Album:

Their self-named debut is a very good jazz rock effort, with John Wetton in a genial mood, produced by Brian Auger, James Litherland is quite dominant. This is an album filled with virtuoso instrumental displays and impressive interplay - the actual tunes prove pretty uninspiring. Musically these guys were a pure mix of Jazz, fusion and Canterbury Progressive rock having written some pretty cool tunes here!

Let the music begin!


Our good skip recommended this after the Colosseum listen & it's got some cracking moments.


Cheers to you and yours as well, J/J!

FABULOUS pick. Will be ordering this immediately. And thanks also to C for the pick by proxy. :D

This is my kind of jazz rock. I want Stephen Wilson to wave his magic 5.1 wand at this album.

Now that's what I call groovy.




Tail feathers shakin'.





Just love the bass, and the distance between the bass and guitar - so much to listen to.
