Jerry Garcia Collection vol.1: Legion of Mary 2005- Rock/Jazz/Blues- USA

Legion of Mary was an American rock band, formed by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead and his friend and musical collaborator Merl Saunders. The band lasted from July 12, 1974 to July 5, 1975. Its members included Garcia (guitar and vocals), Saunders (keyboards), John Kahn (bass guitar), Martin Fierro (saxophone and flute) and Paul Humphrey (drums). Ronnie Tutt replaced Humphrey as the band's drummer in February 1975. In their concerts, Legion of Mary played rock music that had an eclectic mix of influences, including blues, funk, reggae, rock and roll, and especially jazz. Performances included extended improvisation solos, which Garcia made famous with his role in the Grateful Dead. Their only official recording was released on Rhino Records in August 2005, under the name Legion of Mary: The Jerry Garcia Collection, Vol. 1 (info Wiki)

Se acomodó al blues, al jazz, al rock... dando musicalidad como un todopoderoso ... liderando, componiendo, un figura con la guitarra, el banjo, cantando...

Conocidísimo por todos vosotros el señor Jerry Garcia... Y la mejor manera de seguir haciéndole un buen tributo es escucharle de nuevo. Os recomiendo este directo, un doble CD con la banda “Legión of Mary” grabado entre diciembre de 1974 y julio de 1975 en California. No os lo perdáis, es atrayente, palpitante y provechoso hasta el final... Extraordinaria banda y ojo con el saxofonista Martin Fierro ¡majestuoso! ... Jazzy_ un kilo de saludos.
