	Some more info on the 1982 album ... From Chicago comes The Jack Hammond Group, an inventive fusion band. On the double LP "A Fatal Beauty", the album opens with a fantastic sequence of tracks, lead by guitarist Jack Hammond, which is ultimately based in progressive rock, including a side long epic as found on Side 2 (of 4). Side 3 finds the group experimenting with many disparate styles (for example - classical, blues and funk). Then they close strong on the final cut with the additional of horns. A solid album throughout, and a great find for US private press seekers (technically the label for the album is Fatal Beauty Records). The cover is also quite suitably creepy.....by...ashratom ......... A rocking, rollicking prog album from the virtually unknown rural US crew, this is a hard cry from the tired, dull, lifeless drivel that the big names of the genre were producing by the early 1980s. Like I said elsewhere, trends never die, they just move away from the mainstream into the grey area of private pressings and continue to thrive there........... Credits Bass – Rick Fazio Cover – Dean Hacker Drums – Larry Imbordino Guitar – Jack Hammond Keyboards – Steve Albue https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/the_jack_hammond_group/a_fatal_beauty/ https://johnkatsmc5.blogspot.ca/2017/02/the-jack-hammond-group-fatal-beauty.html Edited by vadthebad - March 13 2018 at 19:09

	More info on the Jack Hammond's debut album of 1980.... Chicago guitarist Jack Hammond made his debut with his solo eclectic album "Open The Doors", containing an anachronism from the 60s in the form of a blues with psychedelic sensations on some of his tracks, which is very unusual for the 1980s. It even seems that his teacher was the preaching American primitive style of country blues John Fahey with his thin fingers. The Musicians Jack Hammond: Fender 4&6 String Strats, Takamine 12-String and Ovation Classical Larry Imbordino: Percussives and Makeshift Gong Paul Winsaur: Fender Fretless, Precision & Kramer Basses Iain Burgess: Engineering & Wizardry Dave Dolce: Saxophones Edited by vadthebad - March 15 2018 at 16:21
