The Free Spirits – Out Of Sight And Sound 1967) @ 320



US American band (1965-1968) who have been credited for being the first ever jazz-rock group.

They also incorporated elements of pop, psych and garage rock. Lead guitarist is Larry Coryell.  Their first album, Out of Sight and Sound, was recorded in 1966 and released in 1967.

Members:

Bob Moses, Chris Hills, Columbus Baker, 

Jim Pepper, Larry Coryell

===============================

The band formed in New York as a jazz group. Every member except Chip Baker had a background in jazz. According to drummer Bob Moses, guitarist Larry Coryell turned the group to more rock-oriented music. The band played several times in a New York club called The Scene but made little money from the shows, getting paid only ten dollars as a group per night. The band also performed with Mitch Ryder and The Rascals.[

By 1967, Coryell left the band to play with Gary Burton. Moses also joined Burton because he "knew that it wasn't going to be the same without Coryell". Pepper, Hills, and Baker formed the band Everything is Everything with Lee Reinoehl on Hammond C-3 organ and both John Waller and Jim Zitro on drums. Vanguard released their self-titled album, which included Pepper's composition "Witchi Tai To". Moses later recorded with Jack DeJohnette, Steve Swallow, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, and Coryell
