Rhinoceros (band) - blues related jazz, jazz RnB

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Rhinoceros was a rock band established in 1967 by Elektra Records as that label's intended supergroup.
The band, while well respected in many circles, did not live up to the
record label's expectations. One reviewer commented, "Despite the fact
that the band could not live up to the expectations that were raised by
Elektra Records' publicity machine, Rhinoceros' contributions to rock
still deserve more credit than subsequent rock histories give it."

	Some great stuff here, especially that last song. I'm sad that I'd never heard of this project before now, especially being interested as I am in Paul Rothchild as a producer, but I'm not sure this is quite blues-related jazz. Perhaps more blues psych rock? I'll certainly bow to opinions more established than mine - perhaps someone at JMA has a whole album and can help out? My guess is these guys might not fit. Thanks for the recommendation, however, I'll probably go order their first album tomorrow Edited by dreadpirateroberts - 16 Jan 2012 at 8:31am
