DeleteA little info about this band, according to Bay-area-bands.com:
ReplyDelete“A little known, short-lived jazz rock group, fronted by Merl Saunders, in the early 70's, who were based in San Francisco featuring Merl, his brother Tony, Martin Fierro, Larry Van and
Chris Hayes. Chris - later lead guitarist with Huey Lewis and the News - then was also playing in Sweet Meat with his sister Bonnie Hayes and his brother Kevin Hayes.
Merl Saunders and Aunt Monk released the album You Can Leave Your Hat On early 1976. The album was recorded (September-October 1975), remixed and mastered at Fantasy Studios,
Berkeley, CA. Sheila Escovedo, later known as Sheila E. played congas on this album.
Larry Vann is excellent on drums and could have fit into Garcia-Saunders perfectly. This band almost sounds like Garcia-Saunders, especially with Martin Fiero on flute and sax. Merl's
playing is excellent on Hammond B-3 and the bass player here could be mistaken for John Kahn at times. This is cool stuff. It's mellow, it's rockin', it's jazzy, it's funk. There's no
reggae, though, even though they do play Bob Marley & The Wailers' No Woman No Cry and Stevie Wonder's Boogie On Reggae Woman. There's no Jerry either but so what, it's still
great music from Merl and Friends.”
Peter Gunn, Thank You for adding value with your review!
