Thanks. Surprisingly, I had to look those guys up (as well as their album). Mid-70’s I was a becoming a bit of a rock ex-pat; having been lured away to jazz 😊
In the early 70’s they were part of the very creative British Rockland 10cc. I was a big fan. Their Wallstreet Shuffle is still actual.. When things became too commercial Godley & Creme left 10cc and went on as a duo. I still have their first and 2nd album, Freeze Frame on vinyl. They also made brilliant videoclips when that started. Jazz never really got to me, although I listened a lot to what was called jazzrock overhere, with bands like Wheather Report; Return to forever; Chick Corea; Herbi Hancock. 👍🎶✋
I just played Wallstreet Shuffle; never heard it before. Interesting that this band was below my radar, because I listen to a lot of music. I can see how they influenced quite a few musicians and singers.
I was fortunate, I guess, to be in the NYC suburbs during the 70’s. I saw many of the great names of jazz in Manhattan before they died. And I spent a lot of money on vinyl (most of which I still have)
…good to see that both of those guys are still with us. Here’s a link to the song Harrie referenced, for anyone interested:
Beautiful, John. Seeing that pretty bubble shape in the ice, other people might look for a pristine background (or make one!) without detritus or other colors. I think the needles and warm hues serve the image to good advantage. And this is one of those winter images with a restrained palette that’s filled with colors, unnameable colors, once you look carefully.
Thanks. I like the idea of unnameable colors. I might have to steal that from you 😊
Having spent just an afternoon with Harrie and gotten to know him online as well, I can see how he would have liked that song back in the day, maybe as much for the lyrics as the music. (Not familiar to me either).
