    Savage Grace 2...........1971


    Savage Grace was Detroit, Michigan's progressive rock band of the late 1960s. With chops galore and a background rooted in jazz and R&B (with some good old fashioned Detroit rock'n'roll thrown in for good measure), Savage Grace stood out from the rest of the Michigan bands as something special and as something quite eclectic. With Guitarist Ron Koss, keyboardist John Seanor, and drummer Larry Zack as the nucleus of a jazzy trio called Scarlet Letter (with two albums on Mainstream), the addition of vocalist/bassist Al Jacquez transformed the group into Savage Grace. The band was soon signed to Reprise and released their eponymous debut album in 1969. Upon moving to Los Angeles the following year, the group embarked on a second album, which took almost two years to complete. By 1972, the trail had ended and the group went their separate ways. Savage Grace never achieved the success that seemed like their due; certainly their musicianship was top notch and their songwriting was good enough, but in the long run, was also perhaps a bit too eclectic to find a mainstream audience.

    Just arrived, crappy cardboard package ripped open but disc still intact. So far sound quality is excellent.
    (see thread on Shangri-La, fantastic deal: $5.96 plus $5.29 shipping for a SACD Mercury EU)

    Thanks Chumlie...

    I will check it out for sure.

    Right now, I'm listening to The Upsetters...Super Ape (vinyl)

    I just got this album a couple weeks ago and it made my small mind realize there was more to reggae than Marley. It is a really good album IMO...

    This is a unique CD. They basically played the same set for each show, with some minor variations. The real variety is supposed to be in how each song was approached for each show. I just started listening to it so I can't comment on that, but I can say the first disk so far is sounding pretty good.
