Quill - Quill (1970 USA,psych experimental early prog rock)Full Album

Quill was an American psych-rock band from Massachusetts that released a 1970 album on Cotillion. Drummer Roger North played in a later edition of the Holy Modal Rounders. Members: Dan Cole (vocals, guitar, trombone), Norm Rogers (guitar, bass, cello, vocals), Jon Cole (bass, guitar, vocals), Phil Thayer (keyboards, bass, saxophone, vocals), Roger North (drums, vocals) Background Quill originated in 1967 in Boston; where brothers Dan and Jon Cole co-founded the band with drummer Roger North and multi-instrumentalists Norm Rogers and Phil Thayer. They played regional stages and supported major acts such as the Jeff Beck Group, Janis Joplin, and The Grateful Dead. Their jazz-tinged, theatrical sound was developed through intensive gigging and a rotating instrumental setup that included horn and string arrangements handled in-house. A spring 1969 performance at Steve Paul’s Scene in New York earned them a slot at Woodstock, where they opened the second day of the festival at 12:15 PM on August 16, ahead of sets by Santana, Keef Hartley Band, Mountain, Sly & The Family Stone, and The Who. Though Quill’s set was not included in the film or original soundtrack, it led to a deal with Atlantic subsidiary Cotillion. The label granted the band full production control and allowed them to self-record at their Massachusetts studio with engineer Aengus.
