Доп. информация: One of the founding fathers of the British blues movement, Graham Bond released two

spectacular albums in 1965 as the Graham Bond Organization. The "Sound of '65" and "There's a

Bond Between Us" are essential jazz/blues albums for any music fan. When Bond broke up the

Organization, he moved to the United States where he recorded two "solo" albums in 1965. In

1966, he returned to England where he became a member of Ginger Baker's Air Force for a time

then left and formed the band Magick with his wife Diane Stewart. Holy Magick, the band's

debut album, was originally released on the "progressive" Vertigo label in 1970 . The album

was based on Bond's interest in white magic and Druid and Celtic mysticism. Holy Magick

consists of two parts containing 18 songs based around mantras, rituals, and improvisational

pieces. The band, a flexible unit, featured some of the top musicians Britain had to offer in

1970 including Rick Gretch (Blind Faith), Victor Bronx, Alex Dmochowski, Jon Moreshead from

the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, and a host of session performers. While barely accessible to

a rock audience, this album has been both dismissed and praised by critics and fans,

depending on one's musical taste. The music was very much jazz oriented. When it was

originally released it did not sell well and became a collector's item. In 1971 Bond released

the second Magick album which was intended to be the second part of his Magick trilogy. The

theme behind this album was Eastern mysticism, in particular the Hindu and Aquarian

philosophy. The lineup for this album had changed, but the sound was an extension of the

debut only with different themes and more of a blues direction. Again the album was released

on Vertigo but did not sell well so Bond postponed the third part of the trilogy and took a

break from the music business. Unfortunately, he died a tragic death in 1974, and the trilogy

was never completed.
