Show of Hands was little-known American jazzy progressive/psychedelic rock trio which was formed in 1967 and disbanded in 1972. They recorded only one album called "Formerly Anthrax" in 1970. Their music is usually described as jazz-rock with dominating organ playing, however I suppose Eclectic Prog would be the best place for them.
Most interesting parts of their sole album is almost 7 minutes instrumental " http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003BNCDB2/rateyourmusic-20/ref=nosim/ - I Want to Fly " and " http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B003BNHNJO/rateyourmusic-20/ref=nosim/ - No Opportunity Necessary, No Experience Needed " which is cover of Yes songs from thier second album.
line-up:
Jerry McCann (vocals, guitar, flute), Jack Jacobsen (Hammond organ, piano), Rick Cutler (drums, percussion)
