Sinclair on Track

John Sinclair is an American poet, writer, and political activist from Flint, Michigan. Sinclair's defining style is jazz poetry, and he has released most of his works in audio formats. Most of his pieces include musical accompaniment, usually by a varying group of collaborators dubbed Blues Scholars. As an emerging young poet in the mid-1960s, Sinclair took on the role of manager for the Detroit rock band MC5. The band's politically charged music and its Yippie core audience dovetailed with Sinclair's own radical development. In 1968, while still working with the band, he conspicuously served as a founding member of the White Panther Party, a militantly anti-racist socialist group and counterpart of the Black Panthers.

Gold started out as a San Francisco and Daly CIty garage band. They slowly developed into a top notch performing group that caught the attention of Bill Graham. Bill had them appear at an audition night then hired them to open a Fillmore-West show for Mike Bloomfield…

The typical jazz fan may not realize that Dave Brubeck has accompanied a number of singers, because most of these recordings took place during his tenure with Columbia. This CD anthology has several tracks which were previously available only on the long out-of-print LP Summit Sessions; they include the impromptu concert collaboration between Tony Bennett and the Dave Brubeck Quartet during an invigorating "That Old Black Magic," and Peter, Paul & Mary join the pianist for "Because All Men Are Brothers" (whose music is adapted from J.S. Bach's "St. Matthew Passion").

Brand new 2018 studio album from the keyboarder / songwriter that played a massive part in classic albums such as Caravan’s "Land Of Grey & Pink"!
"Out Of Sinc" is a collection of pleasant but mostly unremarkable ballads - melodic and well produced but relying upon some hoary old musical and lyrical clichés. Too many clouds in the sky, hearts feeling free and reaching for the stars - lines that really shouldn’t come from the pen of a grown man. Wisely, Sinclair gives most of the lead vocals to a very tuneful young lady called Yammy as his voice is a bit thin and undistinguished, and he is supported by a large cast of musicians including old bandmates Pye, Doug Boyle and Geoff Richardson.
