JERRY GARCIA

The Jerry Garcia Collection, Volume 1: Legion of Mary

$24.98 CD

The Grateful Dead's revered and mercurial Jerry Garcia pursued an eclectic array of side projects throughout his life. A continuation of the Merl Saunders/Jerry Garcia band, the pre-JGB Legion Of Mary conjured an inspired rock and jazz vibe. Featuring Merl Saunders, John Kahn, Martin Fierro and former Elvis drummer Ron Tutt, the quintet played over 60 now-historic shows from December 1974 to July 1975. Characterized by hard grooves and that unique Garcia improvisational style, the unit disbanded in the wake of concurrent Dead activities such as the Blues For Allah sessions, but the never-before released recordings on this two-disc collection capture their magic.
