This core group was joined frequently by Gary and Chris Campau, Patrick Evans, and Vickie Leskovsky. Geoff, who was influenced by the likes of John Coltrane, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Japanese ichi-genkin music, was unaware of the rock musical revolution taking place 60 miles to the north in San Francisco. Don, influenced by British blues and San Francisco psychedelic rock, was unaware of the avant-garde. The melding of these influences became the framework for the group’s eclectic compositions and arrangements. The Roots existed from 1969 to 1973, and played in unconventional venues, such as laundromats and freeway overpasses, arriving unannounced, setting up instruments, and performing sets of up to two hours. Their only scheduled performance was at Forbes Mill in the town of Los Gatos, where they were joined by pianist Russ Ferrante (who later would form the jazz-fusion Yellowjackets), and local avant-garde musician and artist John Hayden. Their phonograph record, ‘The Girl in the Chair,’ was pressed in 1971, in a run of 500 copies, 100 of which were distributed by the legendary Norm Pierce of San Francisco’s Jack’s Record Cellar. Norm also distributed ESP-Disk recordings, and felt that The Roots would appeal to the same listener (Norm later jokingly said it was one of the few times he was wrong). The record was funded by KTAO radio owner Lorenzo Milam, on whose station The Roots had performed on many live occasions (Lorenzo later jokingly said the recording wasn’t avant-garde enough for his taste). By the time the group recorded its last session in 1973, a total of 10 records had been sold.

太迷乱了 布鲁斯爵士的味道很浓

这一群对着洗衣机演奏的疯子 可能连扎怕都自愧不如吧 他们先锋的结构音乐之上 还不乏民谣 和布鲁斯的元素 爵士感也很强 需要很注意力集中的听

爵士迷幻。调子特乱特深。噪音实验。十分的沉。还带着很深的民谣和布鲁斯的功底。听起来也超乱。不过很丰满
