East of Eden

East of Eden is a 1970s progressive rock band, who had a Top 10 hit with the single “Jig-a-Jig” in 1971.
Their professional career began back in 1967 when they were formed in Bristol by Dave Arbus (born David Arbus, 8 October 1941, in Leicester) (violin, flute, saxophone, trumpet), Ron Caines (born 13 December 1944, in Bristol) (alto saxophone), Geoff Nicholson (born 27 June 1948, near Bristol) (guitar, vocals), and Geoff Britton (born 1 August 1943, in Lewisham, South London) (drums), who later joined Wings.

In 1969 they released the Mercator Projected album, followed shortly after by the SNAFU and Jig-a-Jig albums (both released in 1970). Although some might consider this group as being a symphonic progressive band, others state that their style is mostly jazz oriented. Combining flutes, violins and tape loops to folk, gypsy and psychedelic music, the East of Eden style was always heavily supported on a pure rock base; strong and experimental.

The band broke up in the mid 1970s having undergone various changes in membership. Important members in late line-ups included guitarist Andy Sneddon (born 8 May 1946, Ayrshire), bassist David Jacks (born 24 January 1940, Glasgow), drummer Jeff Allen (born 23 April 1946, Matlock) and violinist Joe O’Donnell.

Vicki Anderson – The Message From The Soul Sisters

One of James Brown’s Soul Sisters. According to Mr. Brown’s autobiography, Vicki Anderson was the best female singer he had in his revue. She Joined Brown in 1965 replacing Anna King and she held her position there until she was replaced by Marva Whitney 3 years after in 1968. But she re-joined after Marva departed in 1969 for further three years until Lyn Collins took over. She disapeared after she left Brown for a while and resurfaced in 1975 with a single, featuring a cover of Rufus & Chaka Khan Hit Once You Get Started and Bobby Womack’s Stop On By on Browns I-Dentify label, but this single failed to do any damage, and after this, Vicki never showed any signs to do studio work but she was regulary appearing in James Brown Funky People revue in the late 80s, and again with Bobby Byrd in the early 90s.

But then in 1994 she returned to the studio, recording Gil Scott Herons classic Home Is Where The Hatred Is with Bossa Nostra and it did very well. Today she sometimes does live shows around US and UK. [discogs]

Flower Travellin’ Band

Flower Travellin’ Band were an esoteric Japanese psychedelic rock/ heavy metal outfit active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, consisting of Akira “Joe” Yamanaka (vocals), Hideki Ishima (guitar), Joji “George” Wada (drums) and Jun Kozuki (bass).
The band was initially organized by Japanese entertainer and entrepreneur Yuya Uchida as “The Flowers,” a cover band, and featured two vocalists – male vocalist Yuya Uchida, and female vocalist Remi Aso, who was touted as the Japanese version of Janis Joplin. Their first album consisted of covers of Western pop songs. It was primarily notable for the fact that all of the band members appeared nude on the cover, including Aso, which was considered scandalous at the time.

However, after the “Flowers” album, Uchida lost interest and Aso drifted away. The remaining members reorganized themselves, acquiring Joe Yamanaka as a vocalist on the recommendation of Uchida, and proceeded to explore a more original and rock-oriented direction.

In early 1973, they were billed to open for the Rolling Stones, but Mick Jagger’s visa was rejected from a previous drug conviction and all concerts were cancelled. Later that year the band broke up, with Yamanaka going on to release solo albums in styles varying from David Bowie-styled glam rock to roots reggae.
Guitarist Hideki Ishima released a solo album, One Day, in 1973, and continued a career as a studio musician, guesting on several of Yamanaka’s solo albums. Ishima is still active in the music scene in Japan, and specializes in playing the “sitarla,” an instrument he designed. The sitarla apparently combines the qualities of a solidbody electric guitar and the sitar… [wikipedia]
