Lead
by Australian-born violinist and flutist Rothfield (AKA Raja Ram),
keyboardist Phil Jones (Shiva Shankar) and Shambu Babaji on bass, this
North-London group had very strong spiritual Indian classical music
influences. Their first two albums, In Blissfull Company and their
eponymous second album (they had much success riding on the popular
sudden passion provoked by the BEATLES) are filled with Indian Sacred
Chants and Psalms, but also much more accessible jazz-filled rock tracks
full of delightful moments. Their third album Dive Deep was less
spiritually oriented and contained more jazz-influenced improvisations
with longer intrumental interplay tracks. After the partially live album
Self some key members left to form the similar KALA, and QUINTESSENCE
released on last album that was simply not quintessential anymore.
At
their top , QUINTESSENCE was a magnificient group playing some superb
Indian-laced psychadelic rock and are fondly remembered by all etnic
fusion music afficianados and old hippies around the world.
