Search - Trifle :: First Meeting

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1971 album. Formed in late 1969, the band featured George Bean (vocals, guitar), Patrick "Speedy" King (bass), Barry Martin (saxophones), John Pritchard (trumpet) and Rod Coombes (drums). Trifle signed to Pye's Dawn imprint in 1970 and their only album was recorded for later that year, by which time the band were joined by trumpet player Dick Cuthell for the recording sessions. In the vein of similar acts such as Manfred Mann Chapter Three and Colosseum, Trifle sought to fuse Jazz and Rock, also touching on folk styles (as evidenced by the fact that Trifle covered The Dubliners' 'Dirty Old Town' as the B-side to their 'Old fashioned Prayer Meeting' single). Esoteric. 2010.
