STUD ~ STUD ESOTERIC 2053 (Barcode: 5013929715325) ~ UK ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion Recorded: 1971 Released: 2008 1st album by the obscure British Prog band StudFind albums by this artist, formed by two ex-TasteFind albums by this artist members: bassist Richard McCrackenFind albums by this artist and drummer John WilsonFind albums by this artist joined by guitarist Jim CreganFind albums by this artist (ex-Blossom ToesFind albums by this artist). Two guest musicians also play on this album: violinist John WeiderFind albums by this artist and vibraphonist Poli PalmerFind albums by this artist (both later associated with FamilyFind albums by this artist). The resulting music is quite interesting, moving between Folk-Rock inspired pieces and long jazzy improvisations, sometimes quite adventurous. The players display a high level of skill and imagination and the overall result is often quite surprising. The album has been unavailable for ages and the original LP is a highly sought after collectors’ item. This reissue creates a new opportunity for Prog and Jazz-Rock fans to get acquainted with this little gem.
