 Tommy Bolin Archives
It was from this idyllic womb that Zephyr was born and matured.
The band would often begin chugging through what could be a standard blues number but would soon drop into deep musical meditations on the meaning of life — morphing into a cacophony of brilliant guitar work and smoky organ — then emerging on the other side with the comfort of the chugging blues refrain.
Zephyr offers a crash course in Psychedelic Music 101 on this number, blending jazz, rock, blues, and eastern influences together and allowing idioms to careen off of each other with such freedom of expression that the lines blur and the links between all music becomes inescapably obvious.

Zephyr was booked mainly for showcase gigs in ballrooms and theaters with only the occasional club gig, rather than lots of one-night stands in bars.
When Zephyr was released in October the results weren’t totally satisfying to the band, as they felt that it failed to capture the essence of their exciting live performances.

Pickwick, without the slightest intimation of his purpose, sprang vigorously out of bed, struck the Zephyr so smart a blow in the chest as to deprive him of a considerable portion of the commodity which sometimes bears his name, and then, recapturing his nightcap, boldly placed himself in an attitude of defence.
Euroclydon, nevertheless, is a mighty pleasant zephyr to any one in-doors, with his feet on the hob quietly toasting for bed.

 Rarebird's Tommy Bolin Reviews
At the age of 18, Bolin was the guitarist for the hard rock band Zephyr, and played on the first two of their three albums.
Zephyr's music was a mixture of heavy metal, jazz, and blues, and was at times similar to that of the first Led Zeppelin album (released the same year).
The lead vocals of the late Candy Givens (who drowned in a hot tub while under the influence of drugs in 1984) were sometimes over the top; the appeal of her Janis Joplin-like wailing may depend on your mood.

The Zephyr had all that a band could ask for: good people and a bad ass PA," reads the album's liner notes.
One of McMurtry's most vivid memories from the Zephyr was one of disappointment -- ironically caused by that "kick ass PA." The band had played the night before at the Wooden Dog in Park City where problems with the sound system forced an acoustic set.

Obviously, the band draws on many of their Italian contemporaries, but also from a wide variety of other styles including Yes, ELP, and a dash of Canterbury, but the music is blended into something quite unique.
Data on the band's later discographic manoeuvres in the seventies is inconclusive, but it would appear that in 1977 they recorded an album called Future Shock, which was based on a theatre piece that the band had been involved with.
Each of the three band members worked on this album to sweat his guts out and their long and highly diverse arrangements are the most ungovernable I ever heard.

I can count at least seven adult elves in Zephyr's band (Wavelet was born at Cavernsong), but I'm guessing there were 9-12; he had three ships, and there seem to be 3-4 elves in each ship.
Even though he left Crest Point five human lifespans ago, some of the elves who stayed behind still consider the fact that he didn't come back to be a sign that it is not safe to venture out into the rest of the world.
