East
Of Eden
BBC In Concert
1970 [no label, 1CD]
Radio
1 In Concert 1970 and Top Gear, April 18, 1970.
When we offered East
Of Eden live in Zurich 1970
as a download last year, it became one of the more popular shows among
jazz fans. Perhaps the group's reputation did preceed them. Also, there
aren't that many East Of Eden shows available, especially fine sounding
ones.
Formed in Bristol
in 1967, the group had released Mercator Projected in 1969, followed by
Snafu in 1970. Knowing that the performances were to be broadcast, East
Of Eden played what would have been a set of "greatest hits" - Waterways,
In The Snow For A Blow, the oriental-sounding Xhorkham, In The Stable
Of The Sphinx (with an energetic surf-punk feel), Nymphenburger and, what
would be a regular curtain closer, Jig-A-Jig.
Weaving Middle-Eastern
elements into their music, the group had a hit song called Ramadhan. But
what made East Of Eden stand out was their use of the violin as a lead
instrument and their willingness to play their own blend of rock-fusion
jazz. As mentioned on their website: "Their utilisation of jazz in a much
purer form than their contemporaries was the prime element which defined
their music. Also use of eastern scales, reggae rhythms and influences
of classical composers such as Bartok crossed musical boundaries years
before the term 'World Music' was coined."
Thanks then to reader
John Faulkner who contributed this compilation. John notes: "Uncirculated
as far as I know. Excellent for the time - mono; from reel to reel."
