Graham Bond smokin' hot at Klooks Kleek!,
By bobobob5 "bobobob5" (london england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Live at Klooks Kleeks (Audio CD)
Almost unbelievably it is now 35 years since Graham Bond, Jack Bruce, Dick Heckstall-Smith and Ginger Baker got up on stage at London's legendary Klooks Kleek club and the tape machine began recording this live session for posterity. The Organisation were becoming, at that time, the Number One act on the British R&B club scene and this CD shows you why. Beginning with the introduction, in which Graham Bond swaps amusing banter with the announcer, you can sense a kind of enthusiasm and drive powering them forward. Some reviewers in the past have criticised this album for poor sound quality, but this is not really valid and such comments must not put you off. There is a loss of clarity in one or two places, but the overall effect is compelling. The CD is worth buying for just one track alone - 'Wade in the Water', which features Graham's stunningly powerful Hammond organ and Leslie speaker cabinet sound. But the rest is excellent too. Don't buy this just because you are a Jack Bruce or Cream fan and want a complete collection - buy it because it's fantastic music from one of the most important bands ever.

Pure British R&B,
By
This review is from: Live at Klooks Kleeks (Audio CD)
This is an excellent record of the blues boom that happened in the mid-1960s with its accent on London. Many of the UK's top bands of the era came out of this "movement" and so, for this reason, a record of how this sounded is an important piece of the jigsaw for understanding 1960s British music. Not only is this a great live album that makes you feel you are in a small London jazz club but it features future Cream members Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. A mix of standards and a few originals including Train Time which later appeared on Cream's Wheels of Fire and BBC Sessions CD, this is British R&B at its best.
