The Free Sprits
"Out Of Sight And Sound 1967"
Way ahead of its time, the Free Spirits' radical 1967 album has never previously been available on CD. Featuring the young Larry Coryell, who made his recording debut here, the band was only together briefly but dazzled all who heard them (including Jimi Hendrix, the Doors and the Velvet Underground) with their revolutionary brand of psychedelic jazz-rock. Produced with the band's full involvement, this package comes complete with a rare non-LP bonus track, previously unseen photos and detailed liner notes by Richie Unterberger.
"The Free Spirits, a New York group featuring the guitar, songwriting and singing of Larry Coryell , may have been the first band to fuse jazz and rock, investing the early psychedelic sounds of the day with adventurous, jazz-derived improvisation, horns and elastic song structures" - allmusic.com
"Larry Coryell led this group, which made jazz-rock before such a thing existed. It's hardly a fusion album, but garagey rock with short, tight songs that just happen to have jazzy instruments and chord progressions. A unique and experimental record" - lysergia.com
