Stereojack Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I remember seeing Jeremy and the Satyrs open for Albert King in 1968. Their album was a disappointment, but live they totally kicked ass! The guitarist/singer who dominated the Reprise album was gone, and, with the exception of a couple of vocals by Sally Waring, they were an instrumental unit.

JSngry Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) Revisited the Ray Mantilla Inner City album a few days ago (for get the name, was it Space Station?) and was very pleasantly surprised by the overall content, and by Steig's contributions in particular. Worth checking out, imo. (add - Space Station was just the name of the group. The album was called Mantilla. Now available a finer Bastids everywhere: http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=g5frbcsvpj&ref=browse.php&refQ=kwfilter%3Dray%2Bmantilla%26amp%3Bincl_oos%3D1%26amp%3Bincl_cs%3D1 Edited December 27, 2010 by JSngry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christiern Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Flute Fever was it for me, too. I had Jeremy as a guest on my TV show almost ten years later and don't recall being disappointed, but I haven't seen that show since it aired and, as usual , don't have a copy. I do remember John Hammond being polite but not very enthusiastic when I mentioned Flute Fever to him. He was, however, overly enthusiastic when it came to Zeitlin, who always sounded to me as a pianist encumbered by technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillF Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I saw Jeremy Steig at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in 1969 in a European touring package that included the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Orchestra, Freddie Hubbard and Richard "Groove " Holmes.

sidewinder Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 (edited) I saw Jeremy Steig at the Free Trade Hall, Manchester in 1969 in a European touring package that included the Thad Jones Mel Lewis Orchestra, Freddie Hubbard and Richard "Groove " Holmes. Nice one. That whole bill recorded live for Sonny Lester/United Artists on that tour - the double LP 'Jazz Wave On Tour' was the result (although I think the actual recordings were done on the Continent). Came out as a Blue Note as a result of Lester selling up I think. Edited December 27, 2010 by sidewinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat5 Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 I heard one of his records and hated his time concept. Have avoided hearing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bright Moments Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I had to find this one all by myself. Totally different from anything else i have heard by Steig. Part free-jazz part rock - you need to hear this one!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny D Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) The first time I heard Jeremy Steig was on two tracks from Sandy's Album Is Here At Last by Sandy Hurvitz, a Frank Zappa discovery who went on to record several albums under the name of Essra Mohawk.
