Psychedelic Rock, Jazz-Rock, Progressive Rock
Fronted by keyboard maestro Michael Tschudin (previously leader of Boston psych faves The Listening), this short-lived quintet played progressive rock with a jazzy, percussive edge. Their sole album was originally released in August 1970, and boasts impressive interplay throughout, with superb musicianship including a guest appearance from Elvin Jones on drums.
Michael Tschudin is taking his new group, Cynara, on me road to play rock clubs and music festivals free as a trailer for his debut record for Capitol. The free dates are part of Capitol's over-all promotion campaign for Cynara, as well as part of Tschudin's plan to get as wide an audience as possible 'into the group', and to give the group a chance to 'get it together'.
Among the free dates played by Cynara are Ungano's in New York and the upcoming Harmony Music Festival in Atlantic City beginning Tuesday. Touring with Tschudin, who composed the songs for Cynara's first Capitol LP, are Jeff Watson (lead singer), Cal Hill (bass), Les Lumley (guitar) and Chip White (percussion). The album, which was produced by Tschudin and Capitol A&R staffer Ken Cooper, is the first all-New York production to go into release.
It's scheduled for an August 24th shipment. Tschudin, who has studied with Rudolf Serkin and E. Power Biggs, and who says that "Johann Sebastian Bach is my greatest teacher," has three one-year options with Capitol and a guarantee of two album releases a year. Capitol's New York office will be keeping tabs on Cynara as they go into the free situations, and the company's men in the territory will be alerted to make these dates pay off in potential album sales'Billboard, August 1st 1970
This 1970 effort by a group based around keyboard ace Mike Tschudin is definitely worth picking up if you like piano and organ-based rock (plus the occasional harpsichord and xylophone), sometimes with a jazzy feel. This is the same guy who a few years earlier had provided great keyboards to the band The Listening's only album from 1968, also a must-have if you like melodic organ psych, but he'd come a long way by this album. 'Stoned Is', the third track on the album, is actually a remake of the same song off the Listening album. There are six quite different songs, the last one an 11 minute instrumental piano jam featuring jazz great Elvin Jones on drums. Such a great album with so few reviews surely qualifies this one as a lost classic.Review by Amazon Customer
