	Graham Bond - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Graham Bond (born October 28, 1937 in Romford, Kent, England - died May 8, 1974 in London, England) was an English musician.
		Because of this, the GBO is often viewed by rock historians as one of the first rock supergroups.
		In a sense, Bond was a catalyst in the formation of British groups Cream and Colosseum, as members of those groups came from Bond's group.

		Like his contemporary Alexis Korner, Graham Bond is one of the unsung heroes of the early-'60s UK R&B scene.
		Bond was a firm fan of Ray Charles, which extended to both his choice of material ("What'd I Say") and also his approach.
		A talented player himself (both organ and alto sax) as well as a vocalist, Bond was generous in showcasing his sidemen ("Dick's Instrumental" for tenor player Dick Heckstall-Smith) and tended to pepper the staple Beat group repertoire with his own compositions.

		Bond had first raved to me about Baker when the former was still a bebop alto sax player on the modern scene.
		His 'take no prisoners' approach was anathema to sections of the jazz establishment, but he found freedom and fulfilment in the Graham Bond Organisation, where jazz, blues and rock were mixed with confidence and bravado.

		In February 1963, he left Alexis with alto saxophonist/organist Graham Bond and bassist Jack Bruce to form the Graham Bond Organisation.
		The Organisation featured an amazing rhythm section, with Jack's extraordinary bass playing (first on double bass, then on his 6-string Fender VI bass guitar), and Ginger on drums, whose unique, daring style broke all the rules.
		Ginger's approach was one of spectacular assault on the toms and bass drum which was violent, unpredictable, unorthodox, and tremendously exciting.

		From their first power chord on the guitar one would be reminded of the Beatles or think that the Doors had given up their organ synthesizer for more high tech equipment, but many would argue that there is no comparison.
		Before the band joined together, Baker and Bruce were making their ways in the Graham Bond Organisation and even released two LPs (The Sound of '65 and There's a Bond Between Us).
		The two had to be separated after rolling around on the floor and punching each other.Bruce was fired from the Organisation by Baker, and then went to John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and after that, the Manfred Mann group (http:// www.roughguides.com/RG.WWW/rock/final rock entries/CREAM.html).

		We were already friends when the New Departures Group had a residency at the Marquee in 1963 - the Alexis Korner band also had a residency at the Marquis and we used to hang out a lot more together - Dick was a member of Alexis' band.
		The first songs I wrote were when Cream was formed in 1966, (White Room, Politician) and immediately after they started to become successful, Graham Bond pounced and asked me to write lyrics for the third incarnation of the Graham Bond Organisation - the 3 piece band.
		I remember taking some exotic songs to Graham, including "You left me with the tattered fragments of the A-Z to Hell" and "Late night mental tyre service", and because there was no-one else around, I sang them through to him.

	Planet Mellotron Album Reviews: B4
		Organist/saxophonist Graham Bond's ultimately tragic career is pretty well-documented; pack-leader of the '60s British RandB scene, slow career decline and an increasing fascination with the occult, leading to his untimely death under a tube train at Finsbury Park underground station, north
		Bond truly came into his own stylistically on '66's There's a Bond Between Us, with more of a jazz influence on the album, the whole thing sounding more polished than its raw predecessor, although some excitement has been sacrificed in the process.
		After the Organisation's dissolution, it seems Bond didn't record for a while, possibly due to his struggle with heroin.
