The Advancement biography
US act THE ADVANCEMENT was put together by Rudy Onderwyzer, manager of popular venue Shelly's Manne-Hole which he ran alomgside jazz drummer Shelly Manne. Onderwyzer saw the artistic and possible commercial viability of forming a new band around Lou Kabok, Hal Gordon and Colin Bailey, who formed the rhythm section of the Gabor Szabo Quintet at the time. Adding in Lynn Blessing (Bill Plummer's Cosmic Brotherhood), keyboardist Thompson and stalwart session musician Art Johnson the band was formed in early 1969, with Gordon and Kaboki as band leaders.
Their one and only album was issued by Philips later the same year, and while it is generally regarded as an artistic succes in later years, this curious blend of psychedelic rock and fusion failed to draw public attention at the time of the album's release. The album failed to make a commercial impact, and The Advancement subsequently disbanded.
