Head - Blackpool Cool (1977)

The third and final album from this band from Glasgow, Scotland.

The band was a sextet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, trumpet and saxophone.

This band was a pretty short lived band who released three albums. The first one, CTP, is lost and impossible to find. I reviewed their second album, the 1975 album Red Dwarf. 

Head was a jazz band. Their music had some fusion influences too.

That is evident on this album too, although there is more jazz than fusion here.

A good reference is Ian Carr and his Nucleus band.

There are some good trumpet and saxophone solos here. The other instruments are honking around in the background.

The music is decent enough although it does not really enthuse me and becomes good. 

This is a decent enough album from a long forgotten jazz band from Scotland. A bit attention has been given to them through my two reviews in this blog.
