Another quite good proto-prog album, with a blend of jazz and blues influence, strong vocals. The bass player doubled on guitar, so don’t expect much of a guitar presence. Excellent keys (organ, piano) and woodwind (sax, flute) work, though. If you’re into this kind of music at all, this is worth searching out.

Tonton Macoute’s eponymous one and only release, reminds me a lot of Indian Summer and Cressida, both great, mostly unknown bands from the same era. The music is melodic, complex and incorporates a diverse palette of sounds from saxes to flutes and from vibraphones to pianos.
