One of the really serious Vertigo rarities, a British Jazz Rock group with a short life but some fine talent. Ben were saxophonist/flutist Peter Davey, keyboardist/pianist Alex Macleery, guitarist Gerry Reid, bassist Len Surtees and drummer David Sheen, the later coming from Graham Bond's band. Their only self-titled album, which contains four long, instrumental tracks, was released in 1971.
This one falls into the same category as Nucleus and If, it's technically competent Jazz Rock with some great solos and rhythms, varied climates, going from furious guitar moves and frequent instrumental interactions to a smoother keyboard/piano-driven music with a bit of a psychedelic enviroment, like Ray Manzarek playing the piano.
