Jellyroll – Jellyroll(1970 USA brass-rock)Full Album

Jellyroll was an American brass-rock band from Cincinnati that released a 1970 self-titled album on Kapp Records. Built from members of James Brown’s backing unit The Dapps, they fused soul, fuzz rock, and jazzy arrangements in a post-psych crossover style marked by theatrical vocals, swirling organ, and ensemble interplay. Members: Roger Troy (lead vocals), Eddie Setser (guitar), Tim Hedding (keyboards, backing vocals), Lee Asch (alto, tenor, baritone saxophone), Dave Parkinson (tenor saxophone), Bob Thorne (trumpet), Joe DeAguero (conga), Stu Perry (drums, percussion) Background Jellyroll evolved from The Dapps, a mid-’60s Cincinnati soul-funk band that included guitarist Eddie Setser, keyboardist Tim Hedding, and saxophonists Lee Asch and Dave Parkinson. They did a brief stint (1967–68) behind James Brown, whose 1967 single “I Can’t Stand Myself (When You Touch Me)” became a modest chart hit. The Dapps released three 1968 singles on the local King label, the first two featuring Alfred Ellis — aka Pee Wee Ellis, who surfaced in another brass-rock group, Gotham. Singer and bassist Roger Troy was fresh off a stint in Shades of Joy. He played on their 1970 second album The Music of El Topo, comprised of jazz-psych versions of soundtrack themes from the Alejandro Jodorowsky acid Western. Meanwhile, Setser contributed to Marva Whitney’s classic 1969 album It’s My Thing. Jellyroll became a septet with drummer Stu Perry and trumpeter Bob Thorne. They signed with Kapp, a longtime pop, country, and easy listening label with a growing array of post-psych acts (Silver Apples, Good Rats, Linda Perhacs).
