Few artists have straddled the worlds of jazz, R&B, funk, and soul as confidently as Roy Ayers – ask four people what genre he's known for and you may receive four different answers. Beyond being a world-class vibraphonist, and penning the life-affirming anthem "Everybody Love The Sunshine", Ayers life and music was rich with diversions – touring with Fela Kuti, performing with Whitney Houston, countless studio collaborations, and endless innovation on his solo records. Selected and mixed by Suncut.

This is one of the many harder-edged and organ dominated progressive bands that emerged in the early Seventies. Unfortunately very little is known about FUZZY DUCK’s history. The musicians were Paul Francis (drums, percussion), Mick (Doc) Hawksworth (bass, vocals, acoustic 12-string, electric cello), Roy (Daze) Sharland (organ, electric piano) and Grahame White (guitar, vocals, acoustic guitar). The eponymous album from 1971 was released on CD by both the German Repertoire Records and the UK Aftermath Records.
FUZZY DUCK’s music is simple but it touches me very much: pleasant vocals, a tight rhythm-section, strong guitarwork and, the most delightful element, floods of Hammond organ. This reminds me of Ken Hensley from early URIAH HEEP and Manfred Wieczorke from German heavy progressive band JANE. The guitarplay is also a good point, featuring fiery solos and catchy riffs. The final song “A word from bid D” includes the so called ‘ducking vocals’ from keyboardplayer Roy (Daze) Sharland, very funny to hear. FUZZY DUCK's music has echoes from ATOMIC ROOSTER, SPENCER DAVIES GROUP, VANILLA FUDGE and QUATERMASS. If you like the Hammond organ, don’t miss this CD! By the way, I own the Aftermath CD version, it contains 11 tracks, including the previously unreleased “No name face”.
