Considered by many to be one of the finest exponents of powerful jazz rock, Keef's earliest engagement was as the replacement for Ringo Starr in Rory Storm and the Hurricanes. After a move to London in 1964 he served in the Artwoods and as Mick Fleetwoods replacement in John Mayall's BluesbreakersIn 1968 he formed his own band and engaged the highly regarded Miller Anderson on guitars and vocals recording a series of highly regarded albums for Decca. He was often remembered for his "Red Indian" stage persona. By the time of their performance at Woodstock the band had moved in the direction of hard jazz rock and achieved some success with "The Time is Near", becoming their only chart album. Latterly he became involved with Vinegar Joe and Michael Chapman. TRACK LISTING: 1. MORNING RAIN 2. FROM THE WINDOW 3. THE TIME IS NEAR 4. YOU CAN TAKE IT WITH YOU 5. PREMONITION 6.
